A STROKE OF LUCK 

A Stroke of Luck is a charity established by a stroke survivor with the key focus on supporting the lives of fellow survivors with their physical, mental, and emotional recovery. We do this through providing engaging and expert content in activity and exercise as well as providing advocacy to survivors.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 2 years
