Donations
The family of the late
Audrey Spence, of Murrayston, Lerwick have donated the money given
in Audrey’s memory, to the Shetland Stroke Support Group, an amazing
total of £2,860. We are very grateful to them all for their generous
donation. Audrey was well known in the local community and taught at
the Sound School for many years, until she retired, sadly she
suffered a serious stroke in May, from which she never recovered.
Our thoughts are with her husband and family at this time.

Sad news
Some of you will have heard
that Davie Henry of Rudda Park also passed away recently. Davie
regularly attended our events for many years and was always full of
fun and interesting stories about Shetland, and we think of his
family at this time.

FAST campaign 2022
This year the stroke
support group is joining with NHS Shetland Neurology Nurse, Gowri
Saravanan, to have an information stall at the Cunningsburgh show on
Wednesday 10th August. We will have cards and fridge
magnets to give away about the importance of knowing how to check if
someone is having a stroke, and getting help FAST. So come along and
say hello if you’re there, we will also have some of our recipe
books for sale on the stall.
If you have any stroke
related issues that you need help with then Gowri can be contacted
through the Gilbert Bain Hospital switchboard on 01595 743000, but
is currently on holiday till 19th July.
