General FAQs

Who are the Stroke Association?

The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. We provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.

We’re here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.

It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support.

What is responsible gambling?

The Stroke Association makes every effort to behave in a socially responsible manner. You must be at least 18 years old to play our lottery and raffles, and we have measures in place to ensure we do everything in our power to control underage playing. The Weekly Lottery and raffles are an incentivised means of supporting the Stroke Association. However, before entering into any scheme which involves speculative spending, you are advised to remember the following:

  • You should gamble only as a means of entertainment, not to make money.
  • You should only gamble as much as you can afford to lose.
  • Before gambling, you should set yourself clear limits on how much you can afford to spend.

You should not attempt to gamble back money you have lost. If you think you may have a problem with gambling, contact the gambling support network, GamCare confidentially on 0808 802 0133. Alternatively, visit the GamCare website at www.gamcare.org.uk.
