Your Stories

With an estimated 1.3million stroke survivors in the UK, Essential Aids is keen to hear from people with first-hand experience of dealing with rehabilitation and everyday life after having a stroke.

As the leading cause of adult disability in the UK, we believe in the power of your stories to help improve understanding of the diverse nature of stroke and its aftermath.

Stroke oftern leads to a range of new physical challenges and despite the wealth of equipment available, it isn't always easy to identify suitable products.

We know from over 10 years of talking to our customers that the correct choice of aids and equipment can radically change lives for the better.
