Achievements and Performance

SORP
reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 We have been a successful community group
since 2018 until we became a CIO Charity in July
2024. Our vision and aim is to be able to support
stroke survivors in their own communities and
opening more groups in the next 5 years and
beyond. We opened a virtual online group in
February 2025 for housebound stroke survivors.
After 16 weeks of therapy and leaving the NHS
after a stroke all the therapies end for stroke
survivors so we are there working alongside the
NHS to provide support to stroke survivors.
We work alongside the NHS Community Speech
& Language Therapists and have formed a
training schedule for all our Volunteers on how to
support stroke survivors with aphasia.

BENEFICIARIES

2

Individuals –Stroke Survivors of all ages and
backgrounds are given assistance with their
speech, language and communication
difficulties., memory, cognitive skills, physical
skills, mental wellbeing, social peer support.
Family/Carers -Carer’s, families and friends all
benefit from Stroke Survivors Group as it assists
them with their loved ones. It makes them feel
that they belong in a caring community where
the survivors can be themselves and those who
support them also receive essential and much
valued support too. This in turn helps everyone
as it improves self-esteem, reduces family/carer
stress and pressure and increases confidence
which is often lost when a stroke is
experienced.
Volunteers –We encourage a strong sense of
pride and community for our volunteers
through helping others. We have a proven track
record of our service. Since we started in May
2018, we have evaluated and monitored our
volunteers and maintained contact throughout
with all our stroke survivors during the Covid
Pandemic.
NHS- Our group takes pressure off local
services by closing a gap in provision for stroke
survivors. Working with Speech & Language
Stroke and Community Teams, Social
Prescribers and Health Teams we provide a
positive and engaging environment that is
endorsed by professionals.Stroke Survivors are
inclusive, person-centred and we treat everyone
as an individual.
We give and are given support in a variety of
ways from the following organisations:
•
Stroke Association, we are affiliated to
these but receive no funding from them.
Referrals/NHS/Carers
•
Pathways CIC
•
Speech & Language Therapists, Stroke

• Broo Café & Coffee Shop, Afternoon teas, safe meeting place • Everybody Sport and Leisure Ability for All, Fun exercising • Musical Moments, Singing and movement The ongoing support we give to Stroke Survivors in Crewe is vital as there is no alternative, similar provision within our town. We are different from other Groups in that we provide stimulating activities which help members with their rehabilitation. Since 2018, this need has been clearly demonstrated by the increased growth in our member numbers, especially via professional referral, we started up a second group in Alsager (established in May 2022) and a third group in Sandbach (established in September 2023) In Crewe, this need is further evidenced by the Cheshire East JSNA stats. Crewe health issues are higher than other areas of Cheshire East and smoking/alcohol/circulatory issues, combined with higher levels of poverty, all contribute to the increased risk of a stroke. We, as a group, focus on both the rehabilitation and prevention of future strokes through education/information and talks. We have evaluation and monitoring forms for each of our new/regular members so we can evidence progress and improvements from when they start with us. Monitoring is logged every 3 months, 6 months and annually and is based on emotional and physical progress.
