The Group was set up in 2016 by Paul Kendall who survived a stroke in 2010, and it is frequented by a number of stroke survivors keen to regain the lives they had before their strokes. The exercise classes are overseen by James, a physiotherapist and trained instructor, and are focussed on the recovery of motor control of the limbs. The Support Group meets once a month at 1.00pm on the third Wednesday of the month at the Sands Centre Carlisle ( studio 2), where stroke centred exercise classes are provided free of charge for the more active stroke survivors. The group consists of stroke survivors, their family and carers, and we are keen to welcome new members.
