The Western Active Stroke Group was developed by stroke patients who found they had know one to turn to when they were released from hospital and wanted to further their rehabilitation.

The group was set up in October 2003 as a support group for people affected by stroke. It meets every Tuesday morning between 10am and 12 noon where members can discuss their issues and concerns. The aim of the group is to help people with their physical and social rehabilitation, in a safe and friendly environment. There is a varied activity programme to enhance the mind, body and spirit.

There is also a stroke rehabilitation exercise class at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre 12:30pm to 13:30 pm, following the group meeting. See Activity Programme.
