If you saw tonight’s episode of Coronation Street, you would have seen that Betsy, played by Sydney Martin, had two life-changing strokes.

Stroke can happen to anyone of any age at any time, including young people like Betsy, and the impact is immediate and devastating.

We’ve been working closely with Sydney and the Coronation Street production team to offer our guidance and direction on Betsy’s stroke and recovery journey.

As it continues to develop in the next few weeks, Betsy’s storyline will show how difficult surviving a stroke can be as she experiences the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges of recovery.

If you’ve been affected by stroke like Betsy and her family have, we’re here to offer support. Our Stroke Support Helpline Team are available on 0303 3033 100 and [email protected].

You can also visit our website to find out more about stroke and the support we offer: https://www.stroke.org.uk.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to Esme and her mum Lyns, who have raised an incredible £2,336 for the Stroke Association

Esme has just finished a year of fundraising as the Comberbach Village Rose Queen. Throughout the year Esme organised a number of fundraising events, including a cake sale and a mini Christmas market event.

On Saturday we went along to the village fete to receive the cheque, where Esme gave a brilliant speech as she handed over the reigns to the next Rose Queen.

Esme chose to support us because her mum, Lyns, suffered a stroke aged 42 which has impacted all of their lives.

Thank you to Neil and James, from Preston, who are walking from coast to coast covering an incredible 192 miles to fundraise for the Stroke Association They’ve already raised an amazing £1,161 for vital stroke support and research.

They’re setting off on their journey today (Tuesday 9th) and they said, ‘every step we take will be in honour of those who have faced this life-altering condition.’

They’ll be carrying all their own cargo so it will be a demanding challenge for them. Both Neil and Jimmy have been deeply touched by the impact of strokes on our family and friends. We can’t thank them enough for their support.

A huge thank you to the Fylde Coast Team, who welcomed colleagues, family, and friends to take part in an awareness walk supporting Stroke Association during Make May Purple!

Together, they completed an 8-mile walk along Green Hurst Way, part of the famous Tolkien Trail. While the route was challenging in places, everyone enjoyed a rewarding day filled with teamwork, support, and raising awareness for the Stroke Association

Thank you all again
