Speaker
Ranj Parmar – Chair of Trustees
Ranj had a stroke at 39 following a sudden subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Although his recovery was good, he continues to live with fatigue and ongoing effects. After his stroke, he became aware of how isolating life after stroke can feel, especially as a younger person.
He went on to help create a local peer support group and is now Chair of Different Strokes. He is passionate about the power of peer support and believes no one should feel alone after stroke.
