Care centre needs your help
DID your readers know that strokes are the third biggest killer in the UK? Or that around 150,000 people have a stroke each year?
In fact, more than a quarter of a million people in the UK are living with disabilities caused by a stroke. Many of them find it extremely costly and difficult to organise a holiday – or even just a short respite break - because of their complicated care needs.
I work at a place called Vitalise Sandpipers, an accessible respite care centre in Southport run by national disability charity Vitalise.
Each year we welcome many hundreds of disabled people and carers to enjoy much-needed breaks with us. But we couldn't do it without the generosity of our supporters. If you would like to make a donation, please call us on 01704 538 388 or email Sandpipers@vitalise.org.uk.
