The Southport Stroke Club is a Registered Charity and is affiliated to The Stroke Association. The group is run by a small group of dedicated local volunteers.

The Club's Aims and Objectives are:-

1. To provide facilities for recreation or leisure time occupation, with the objective of improving the quality of life of adults who have suffered disablement from strokes.
2. To raise funds which can be used to finance social outings, entertainment or any other type of activity required by members
3. To promote and maintain close relationships with all persons and organisations interested in stroke patients
4. To be self-financing from fund-raising activities and donations from members.
