Free Event for younger stroke survivors comes to Sheffield

Younger stroke survivors, their families and carers across Sheffield are being invited to a free community event, offering a morning of connection, conversation and support.

The event, run by national charity Different Strokes, takes place on Friday, September 25, from 10am to 1.30pm.

Different Strokes is a UK charity dedicated to helping working-age stroke survivors reclaim their lives through active peer support.

Guest speaker Jak Carr, who had a stroke at the age of 47 in 2021, will share his personal story of recovery and how it has shaped his outlook on the future, followed by a chance for attendees to ask questions.

Beyond the talk, the event is designed simply to bring people together over tea, coffee and a light lunch - to share experiences, pick up practical advice and build new friendships with people who truly understand life after stroke.

Places are free, but numbers are limited, and with booking closing next week, organisers are encouraging anyone interested to reserve their spot as soon as possible.
