AS many of your readers in the Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area will know, stroke can be devastating, changing people’s lives within the blink of an eye.
There will be many such people in the Times' area living with the effects of suffering a stroke.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and many stroke survivors and their families’ financial situations are severely affected as a result.
At the Stroke Association, we support people to make the best possible recovery following a stroke. Our means-tested Life After Stroke Grants help stroke survivors and their families facing financial hardship.
Life After Stroke Grants provide a one-off payment of up to £300 to fund vital home or personal equipment such as mobility aids, kitchen appliances, specialist aids, or household furniture.
Applications for Life After Stroke Grants must be applied for via the Stroke Association, by a health or social care professional, or another charity.
To find out more about applying for a Grant, call our Stroke Helpline on 0303 3033 100, visit stroke.org.uk/grants or email us at GrantsScot@stroke.org.uk
