- High Care: for people with care and support needs.
- Self-Help Group: to promote independent living and healthy lifestyles.
- Younger Stroke Survivors Network: for stroke survivors of working age – to build up confidence in participating in community life, developing planning and organising skills and linking to further education, volunteering or return to work.
