East Kent Strokes is a Support Group for stroke survivors in East Kent (Registered Charity No 1122466). It was established in early 2001 to help and support stroke survivors (particularly, but not exclusively, younger ones) and their carers and families by providing support and information and organising regular informal lunchtime get-togethers in selected local hostelries and other social activities from time-to-time. We strongly believe that, particularly as far as stroke survivors are concerned, “Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future and every day is a new beginning“.

Currently, we are holding our regular monthly meetings at the Pavilion, Eastwell Manor, near Ashford, The Red Lion, Hernhill, near. Whitstable, the Fayreness, near Broadstairs, and The Duke of Cumberland, Barham, near Canterbury. They are very friendly and informal gatherings. In addition to these we organise occasional pitch & putt sessions, garden visits, glider flights, boat trips, an annual barbeque and a Christmas Lunch.

We are now Publishers!

We found an excellent book that gives exercises, lessons, etc. for those stroke patients who are aphasic (who have lost their language). We strongly recommend A Stroke in the Family by Valerie Eaton Griffith to all carers, friends and relatives of those unfortunates who are speechless.
