After having a TIA (mini stroke) although I have no severe lasting effects, I saw first hand the struggle many have with rehabilitation following a stroke and how hard simple things we take for granted can be, such as having a glass of water or cutting up food.

The BOWRA foundation support people following stroke or brain injury with BOWRA bags which cost £100 per patient to be a little more independent as they navigate the world post brain injury.

They also give people opportunities to take part in assisted expeditions, sports days (including golf) and a community of people going through the same struggles.
