Childhood Stroke Project

The Childhood Stroke Project is a collaboration between the Stroke Association and Evelina London Children's Hospital. It has been funded by ICAP Charity Day. The Childhood Stroke Project has set up a research study - to identify the needs of families and young people - and guide our work going forwards. We have also established a Childhood Stroke Support Service.

This service provides:

• tailored information for children, young people and families affected by stroke, about the nature of their stroke or related diagnoses
• advice about local services and follow-up that families may find useful
• support navigating health, social care and educational processes
• advocacy for young people and families in accessing the services they need
• emotional support in adjusting to the impact of stroke
• signposting to peer support networks for parents and young people.
