The Stroke Association
The wonderful charity that is there when you need them! Hounslow & Ealing lack funding for local support workers but do head over to the website as they have huge amounts of information on prevention and life after a stroke.

Medical Travel Insurance
Like so many things in life, it is worth shopping around. We know that there are lots of energy and car insurance comparison websites. But, did you know there was one for medical travel insurance! Try https://www.medicaltravelcompared.co.uk/ , Richard saved over £1,600 for annual insurance.
Ealing Residents
There is a lack of official support from Ealing Council for Stroke, Dementia and Alzheimer’s sufferers and their carers, as it seems to have been outsourced….. But there is the Ealing Carers Partnership, Richard met up with them at the Health and Wellbeing event held at the Fountain Leisure Centre in Chiswick.
