The Charity, Torrevieja Stroke Support presented it´s first Open day and Fun day on Saturday last when stroke survivors, their carers and volunteers manned a dozen stalls and tables comprising games, crafts, books, bric-a-brac, face painting and many many others. Blood pressure and advice was offered by 3"C´s" nurses, refreshments and home made cakes were served by Stroke Support volunteers. Peter Hull provided music and song. 700 euros was raised and the Committee thank all visitors for their generosity and support.

The occasion enabled Torrevieja Stroke Support launch their new website: www.torreviejastrokesupport.com which has been enlarged, creatively designed and is more informative and will continue to be developed. The site offers information about TSS and support and advice for stroke sufferers. The group also intend in the future to open a branch for Spanish speaking sufferers of Stroke, run by Spanish therapists, and more information on this will be announced later.
