We’re incredibly proud to announce that Different Strokes has been named the Round Table President’s National Charity of the Year for 2026/27.

The partnership was officially launched at the Round Table Great Britain & Ireland AGM as Sheraz Shahid began his presidential year.

Round Table members across the UK and Ireland raise millions for charity every year and contribute thousands of volunteer hours to support communities through their motto: “Do More. Be More.”

Sheraz chose Different Strokes following his own family’s experience with stroke, and after witnessing fellow Round Table member Mike Jewell rebuild his life after having a stroke at just 43.

Together, we want to raise awareness that stroke can happen at any age and ensure younger stroke survivors know they are not alone.

Over the next year, Round Table groups across the UK and Ireland will support Different Strokes through fundraising events, community initiatives and awareness campaigns, helping us continue providing life-changing support to younger stroke survivors and their families.

We are so excited for the year ahead and grateful to Sheraz and the entire Round Table community for choosing to support Different Strokes.

Stroke is more than what you can see.

Like an iceberg, many of the challenges stroke survivors live with every day remain hidden beneath the surface.

This Stroke Awareness Month, we want to make those invisible challenges visible.

Take a look at the iceberg and count how many hidden challenges you’ve lived with since your stroke. Then leave the same number of 💜 in the comments.

Living with brain fog, fatigue and loneliness? That’s 💜💜💜

A quick update - I am currently doing a 5 week online course with StrokeEd Collaboration, an evidence based research based therapy training company in Australia. It is based on treatment for the upper limb/arm after a stroke and how to implement this clinically. So far it has been very interesting as it challenges current practice in therapy for the arm. I am really enjoying it and am relishing the new knowledge. Looking forward forward to applying it to my clinically practice and helping clients maximise their recovery. Already tried put some new techniques and ideas.
