A young stroke survivor:

" If I hadn't received counselling and support from BASF and the stroke group, I don't think I would be here today."

" I like the socialisation and supportive environment I get from others in a similar situation."

" I get useful tips on overcoming my disability."

Carers:

"We can discuss our feelings and be honest without feeling guilty."

" There is a good relaxed atmosphere where we feel confident to talk about anything and support each other."

Volunteers:

" I feel I am doing something really worthwhile."

" I have lots of new friends."

Professionals:

" I feel confident with referring anyone to you as you are well established and experienced in this work."

"An invaluable resource for people of all ages with stroke, and for professionals to extend their knowledge."
