View contentAbout the programme
The Health-Enhancing Lifestyle Programme (HELP) for Stroke in Hampshire is a community-based exercise and education clinic designed to improve the health and quality of life of stroke survivors.
Clinic services
A HELP Hampshire Stroke Clinic is currently in the planning stages. The clinic will consist of an 8-week personalised exercise programme, with participants advised to take part in at least two group-based sessions each week. Stroke survivors will be referred to the clinic from Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and local GP and physiotherapy practices. The exercise sessions will be complemented with online educational material.
HELP Hampshire hopes to expand to offer a range of clinics including paediatric and cardiac, a falls clinic and a healthy ageing clinic.
Fundraising
For HELP Hampshire to be a viable and sustainable community project, support from local industry partners is essential. We are therefore currently seeking sponsors to support the clinic.
