Every year, Cross Keys Practice choose a charity to raise funds for through practice lunches and social events. This year we have chosen Different Strokes as it holds a special place in one of our staff members hearts. Hannah, our IT Support & Digital Content Lead, suffered an ischemic stroke in 2021 aged 27 while working for us as a phlebotomist. Different Strokes provided vital support, information and perspective when Hannah felt she didn't know where to turn.

Every year 100,000 people have a stroke and a 1/4 of these people are under the age of 65. That's 25,000 younger people whose lives are changed in an instant.

We are proud to be raising money for this greatly deserving charity.
