Frequently asked questions
What is Sip for Stroke?
We’re asking supporters to host their own coffee morning, bake sale or tea party during Stroke awarness month this May.
It aims to raise money to help support stroke survivors who face a daily struggle to rebuild their lives and honour those who have lost a loved one to stroke.
I am a stroke surviour/have a disability, can I still take part?
Yes! We want everyone to be able to participate in Sip for Stroke. Part of the reason we have created this fundraisder is that it is an activity accessible to many.
When does Sip for Stroke take place?
We are asking supporter to take part during May, as it is Stroke awarness month. However, if you cannot take part during May you are welcome to do it during a time that suits you.
Is there a fundraising target?
There is no fundraising target for Sip for Stroke, we ask that you raise as much as you can.
Below are some examples of what your fundraising can do.
- £150 could help pay for research into new stroke treatments, as we did with thrombolysis - a clot-busting drug that returns the blood supply to the brain that has transformed the outcomes of stroke survivors who have received it.
- £300 could allow a befriending volunteer to work with a stroke survivor for up to a year, perhaps accompanying them on a bus journey once a week until they feel confident enough to take the same journey on their own.
- £1,000 could pay for start-up funds for ten voluntary groups, helping them to start providing crucial peer support in their community.
