Stroke Association North West held its Life After Stroke Awards in Salford yesterday, Thursday 22nd September. Its Life After Stroke Awards recognise the brilliant work that volunteers, stroke survivors, carers, stroke clubs and health professionals do for the charity. The event was attended by over 100 people, with roughly half receiving an award.
Natalie, a volunteer and ambassador at the Stroke Association, presented the Carer’s Award, which recognises the outstanding achievements of carers throughout the North West. Natalie presented five different awards within her category. Natalie said that it was “such a humbling day to see how people have gone through their journey and are now continuing to live their life after stroke despite many difficulties, a lot of which are hidden”. The Stroke Association will continue to share stories from yesterday’s event on Twitter. You can guarantee that some of stories have made a lasting impression amongst attendees and will be shared with friends and families in the weeks to come.
The Life After Stroke Awards provide an opportunity for all the parts of the Stroke Association to come together and hear what each other is doing. It’s also a great opportunity get everybody on board with the Stroke Association’s latest campaign “New Era for Stroke”.
