A stroke can turn your world upside down, leaving you unsure of where to turn or what to do next.
At SNSA, we’re here to guide you through the toughest part of your recovery journey.
Whether it’s connecting you with a befriender for genuine advice, helping you navigate resources, or providing emotional support, we’re committed to being a friendly face and a helping hand as you take steps toward recovery and independence.
All of our services are suitable for stroke survivors and caregivers/family members.

Stroke Support Group (SSG)
Ideal for when you're looking for social support and friendship.
The SSG serves as a network connecting stroke survivors, caregivers, and volunteers.
The SSG facilitates:
Providing a platform for stroke survivors and caregivers to meet informally.
Engaging in social activities collectively.
Extending emotional support to one another.
Sharing experiences and knowledge about stroke-related challenges.
There are three distinct support networks within the SSG:
Stroke Warriors (SSG): For all stroke survivors.
Caregiver Support Group (CSG): For all caregivers.
Young Stroke Survivor Support Group (YSSSG): For stroke survivors aged 50 and below.
Each support group was formed to address the unique challenges faced by individuals, ensuring tailored support for their specific needs, whether emotional, physical, or related to regaining independence.
To support each SSG, SNSA:
Organises regular quarterly gatherings to assist each group
Manages a WhatsApp group for SSG members
Assists members by offering relevant information and resources
