A total of £660 was raised, and this money will be used for
printing a stroke information booklet for patients. We hope to produce
the booklet in a ring binder, with plastic coated pages, for ease of use
by stroke patients, and also on pale blue paper so that it is easier for
people to read who have communication problems following stroke. We have
done a lot of work on this so far, so it's great to have the money to
fund this project. |

healthy eating, and the stroke group was promoted. |
