Stroke Peer Support Network

The Lambeth and Southwark Stroke Peer Support Network is a project which started in April 2008, coordinated by DASL and funded by Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity. We relaunched the service in September 2012 with a new focus on volunteering. We are delighted to be working closely with the Stroke Association’s Lambeth Stroke Care Advisory Service on our project.

We’ll be updating these webpages regularly with news of these exciting developments!

Manuela Gouveia is the Coordinator for the project and can be contacted here. If you want to find out more about the project – whether you are a stroke survivor, a professional, a carer or interested in volunteering with us – please get in touch.

At the moment we are actively involved in the Stroke Association’s fortnightly stroke support group, we are running a fortnightly Aphasia Cafe at Caffe Nero in Morley’s (Brixton), planning to set up a swimming group, a choir and other activities and organising an information session for prospective volunteers on 20th March.
