Past Present and Future
LIFE AFTER STROKE
Local stroke survivors, carers and medical professionals share their personal and powerful experiences of stroke, and showcase the results of a project that has been part of a two year journey. The project recruited a group of core participants, volunteers and interviewees as well as 10 children from a local primary school. This project developed a creative partnership, bringing arts, heritage and health professionals together and the voices and experiences of those affected by stroke.
