WITH just a few weeks to go until the closing date on March 21, The Stroke Association is urging readers to send in their nomination forms for this year's Life After Stroke Awards, held each year to recognise the extraordinary courage that has been shown by people of all ages who have had a stroke, and also those who care for them.
There are seven categories: three for courage, one for art work, one for community work, one for carers and one for Stroke Association volunteers. All those nominated receive a certificate of recognition and the award winners will attend a ceremony luncheon in London on July 16. If you would like to nominate a family member, carer or colleague for an award, please request a nomination form from: The Stroke Association, Northampton Resource Centre, 61-69 Derngate, Northampton NN1 1HD, or call 01604 623 919. The closing date for nominations is Friday, March 21.
