I had a stroke 4 years ago which affected the right side of my body. I had to learn to walk, talk and eat again, with the help of the NHS, my devoted husband and family. Singing and laughter helped me to recover, especially songs like this which I have sung since I was a little girl. All the children in my family know this song now! I hope you enjoy it x

I'm singing and raising vital funds for the Stroke Association this May for stroke awareness month.

Over 240 a day wake up to the catastrophic impact of stroke. Some stroke survivors can have difficulties speaking after a stroke, this is known as aphasia. This can be extremely challenging, but recovery is possible.

Did you know singing is a powerful tool in stroke recovery? Because music and singing is processed in a different part of the brain to spoken language, some people with aphasia find that they can sing easily, even though speaking is hard.
