“Hatchlings”

A baby tortoise is called a hatchling. It uses its egg tooth to break the shell of the egg and emerge. Hatchlings are very vulnerable for the first few days of life, and rely on the embryonic sac for nutrition until they are strong enough to find food.   So we are absolutely thrilled to bring a brand new bespoke service that simply doesn’t exist – well until NOW.    Building on from our wonderful trademarked mascot “Steady Eddie”™ his very own little Hatchling is here to help. “Hatchlings” was established as the brain wave of one of our team, its a counselling service aimed at the younger generation, children who have suffered a stroke or even been impacted by Stroke therefore a family member, a son, a daughter, a granddaughter or grandson or a cousin.   How good would it be if they could reach out to a member of our team who truly understands, truly knows the daily hurdles that a family face?

Would you like to find out more?  In complete confidence, please reach out to Hatchlings@strokeinformation.co.uk where one of our DBS approved team will get back to you to see where we can help.  This service is completely FREE and there is nothing better than lived experience to assist you.

A service user wrote “When Chris had his stroke Good Friday 2024, I was devastated as were my daughters and grandsons, he had already been through open heart surgery, I was completely lost and short of info for a couple of months , then simply by googling i found , the strokeinformation and Nicks number. That first phone call with Nick I was  quite tearful but Nick was great , understanding , and helpful. He added me to the WhatsApp group and the womens group. Since then we haven’t looked back, the group has been really helpful , Due to Chris having further open heart surgery we haven’t been able to go to the drop in, but we will . I’d just like to say thank you from all of us , forever in our hearts”
