Welcome to the Teesside Stroke Club Website
We serve all the Tees Valley and welcome anyone of any gender or Nationality.
Stroke survivors are welcome as are their ‘carers’.
It doesn’t matter how severe your Stroke was, weather you are in a wheelchair, on crutches or have difficulty communicating we help anyone and have specialist equipment which may be able to help you.
We are supported and endorsed by the ‘Physio’ departments of all the local Hospitals, and we have the support of many Doctors. We have been the subject of a study by Dr Daniel Eaves of Teesside University which was very favourable. (details on request).
Come along and meet the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CLUB, our members, they pass on their stories and experiences, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, our wonderful members share their thoughts and will help you see that there is a future.
Our main aims are to encourage our members to regain self-confidence and self-worth using cognitive, physical, and social techniques. We have the facilities to provide rehabilitation supported by our volunteers and trained instructors.
Stroke survivors often feel trapped in their homes, reliant on family and friends, with support and encouragement from our group, people regain Independence.
As a user led club we know firsthand how Stroke is the most disabling illness, and the variety of after effects are tremendous, from almost full recovery to be unable to walk, talk, and finding it impossible to live a decent life without continuing help and support from a carer.
By being part of a supportive peer group which empowers stroke patients to be in control and aids access to a much needed social & community network providing fitness activities, health information to promote healthier life styles we aid rehabilitation of Stroke patients back to a working environment or social setting.
COME ALONG AND FIND OUT – YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN.
