The Reading Stroke Support Group plays an important role in ensuring that stroke survivors, their family and carers do not become socially isolated. It helps to build confidence and self-esteem and aims to assist them in achieving their personal goals for a full life after stroke.

Meetings provide opportunities for meeting and socialising with others, sharing experiences and tips, etc. Meetings also occasionally include presentations and workshops.

As a Stroke Group Supporter volunteer you will be part of a team who will assist in the running of the group. Tasks may include:

• Meeting and greeting group members.
• Helping with refreshments.
• Supporting group members to take part in group activities.
• Supporting committee members to set-up and clear away where the group meets.
