SUCCESS AFTER STROKE

Offering relief, support and benefit to those suffering from the effects of a stroke and living in the counties of Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, by the provision of a range of facilities and activities, so that their condition of life may be improved.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
