Introduction

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new stroke support group in Bridgend. This initiative comes in response to the unfortunate withdrawal of funding by Bridgend County Borough Council, which led to the cancellation of the previous Monday support group organised by the Stroke Association. Our new group aims to continue providing essential support to stroke survivors and their families in the region.

The Importance of Support Groups

Support groups play a critical role in the recovery and well-being of stroke survivors. They offer a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, gain emotional support, and access valuable resources. The cancellation of the Monday support group was a significant blow to the community, highlighting the necessity of such initiatives in Bridgend.

Our New Support Group

In light of the recent funding challenges, our new stroke support group has been established to fill the void left by the previous group. We are committed to providing a comprehensive support system that includes regular meetings, guest speakers, and various activities aimed at promoting recovery and well-being. Our group is open to all stroke survivors, their families, and caregivers in the Bridgend area.

How to Join

We encourage all interested parties to join our new stroke support group. Meetings will be held weekly, and we will ensure a supportive and welcoming environment for everyone involved. For more information on meeting times and locations, please contact our group coordinator at St John Ambulance Center Minerva Street Bridgend.

Conclusion

The creation of this new stroke support group in Bridgend is a testament to our community's resilience and dedication to supporting stroke survivors. Despite the funding challenges, we remain committed to providing the necessary resources and support to help individuals on their recovery journey. We look forward to welcoming new members and continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of stroke survivors and their families.
