Oct 3rd 2019 my mother passed away following a stroke.  I've seen first hand how stroke can affect personality, independence and quality of life and we, at Alt TV,  want to highlight and support the great work done by the Stroke Association. So join us on Monday 10th April for a day of music, discussion and great vibes in support of this great cause.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That's because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. The Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. They believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And its a team effort to get there. Their specialist support, research and campaigning are only possible with the courage and determination of the stroke community and the generosity of amazing people like you.
