The objects of the charity are to work to prevent stroke and educate the public in all matters concerning stroke. This includes carrying out, promoting or sponsoring research into the prevention or treatment of stroke or other conditions where the effects are similar to stroke, the rehabilitation and long-term care of stroke survivors and publishing useful results of such research. Responding to the needs caused by the effects of stroke or other conditions where the effects are similar to stroke, by assessing need and providing access to support to those affected, their families and carers.

We support stroke survivors, their families and carers to adjust to life after stroke. We offer health and lifestyle information, and advice to prevent and manage conditions associated with the causes of stroke. We provide access to universal services such as the Stroke Helpline and My Stroke Guide. We work within local systems to ensure the voice of those affected by stroke can help affect positive change for current and future stroke survivors and carers

Since the date of registration on 3 October 2019, the Stroke Association in Jersey has continued to provide information to the general public, and survivors of stroke and their families, to help reduce the incidence of stroke and to support survivors of stroke to live as full a life as possible after stroke.

We attend the Jersey General Hospital and Samares rehabilitation ward weekly to pick up any referrals of patients who had suffered a stroke or transient ischaemic attack. We liaise with family or next of kin and provide information and support. We provide home visits to stroke survivors who have been discharged from hospital, providing information, advice and support, and signposting or making onward referral or signposting where necessary.

We work with health professionals and the States of Jersey on the island to support with the continuous improvement and development of stroke services.
We continue to incorporate telephone and digital support into our service to ensure we have as many access options as possible. We have seen increased demand for our Helpline and My Stroke Guide digital tool. We continue to work with Jersey General Hospital and other within the health system to strive to improve the stroke pathway.

We have lots of helpful support material on our website www.stroke.co.uk, including links to health information and home-based exercises for stroke survivors.

We also have a national Helpline, which can be used by residents of Jersey who need help and support – the number is 0303 3033 100.
