CLUB: Helping people 40 years on
This month in 1979, the first meeting of the Alnwick Stroke Club met in St Paul's Sheltered Housing, Prudhoe Street.
Started by WRVS as a Speech After Stroke Club, we still meet on a Tuesday at the same venue.
We are open to anyone who has suffered a disability following stroke and living in north Northumberland.

As we enter our 40th year, we have a lot of people to thank for their continued support.
With our transport costs alone this year expected to exceed £5,000, we are thankful to groups, large and small, and individuals who remember Alnwick Stroke Club.
A big thank-you to you all.

Chairman, Alnwick Stroke Club
