Stroke Association

After eight years of great service, the Stroke Association’s current Chair of Trustees is stepping down. The Association is now looking for someone to take on this key role, someone who’s ready to lead the charity into an exciting new chapter.

The Stroke Association is in the middle of a major transformation—not just changing what they do, but how they do it. They’re moving towards a more human, purpose-driven way of working, where trust, and impact shape everything they do. It’s a big shift in culture, and they’re committed to doing things differently—thoughtfully and with intention.

The Charity is in a strong place. Their finances are solid, and they’re focused on growth—to reach more people than ever before. They’re raising their voice, investing in their future, and reimagining what the stroke journey can look like. They want to make sure every stroke survivor has the support and future they deserve, no matter their background or circumstances.

They’re now looking for a Chair who shares this ambition. Someone with vision, commercial savvy, and a deep commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. They’re actively building a more diverse Board and want leaders who will champion underrepresented voices and reflect the communities they serve.

This isn’t just a governance role. It’s a chance to help shape lasting change. If this resonates with you—or if you know someone who might be a great fit—we’d love to have an informal chat and tell you more about where the Stroke Association is headed.
