The Stroke Association campaigns in support of measures which will benefit people who have suffered a stroke. This page provides information about our recent campaigns.
All Party Parliamentary Group on Stroke
Established in early 2003, the All-Party Group is made up of a large number of MPs and Peers from all political parties, and works to raise the profile of stroke in parliament and encourage action to ensure stroke is a national and local priority.
National salt campaign
Information about the national salt campaign launched by the Food Standards Agency and supported by The Stroke Association
Stroke care campaign: It's Just Not Good Enough
A petition with over 54,000 signatures was presented to 10 Downing Street on October 22 2002, calling on the Government to prioritise stroke care.
Seamless transition of care
Many people who have a stroke receive excellent care while they are in hospital but once discharged can feel abandoned, and do not know where to find information or support.
Stroke prevention programmes
Risk factors for stroke have received little public attention compared with heart disease and cancer. We believe much more could be done.
What the Government has promised
The National Service Framework for Older People, published by the Department of Health in March 2001, promises improved treatment and care in England for everyone affected by stroke, whatever their age
National Audit Office
The National Audit Office is researching stroke care in England. To generate part of this research the National Audit Office has created an on-line forum.
