Make a meaningful impact on the lives of stroke survivors and their families in Delta, BC.
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in Canada. Imagine waking up one morning to find that simple tasks like walking, talking, or smiling are now immense challenges. For those heading home from the hospital, it's just the beginning of their journey of recovery.
Our purpose is to help Delta’s stroke survivors reach their goals for communication, movement, and secondary stroke prevention. We also create safe spaces for peer
mentorship and social connections, helping to prevent post-stroke isolation.
Your contribution ensures the continuation of vital community-based services, helping stroke survivors rebuild their lives. We strive to keep participation costs accessible to all stroke survivors, offering recovery programs run by experienced professionals at a fraction of the cost if taken privately. We are not funded by the federal or provincial governments, so our work is only possible through the generous support of donors like you.
As a volunteer-led organization, every dollar you give directly impacts survivors and their families in Delta, BC by providing hope, healing, and the opportunity to thrive.
​
Our members are your clients, customers, neighbours -- or maybe even friends and family members. They need our support to regain confidence, ability, and to reintegrate well into the community. Your generosity ensures that no one is left behind as they strive to rebuild their life after stroke.

Why We Do What We Do
~ Rosemarie H. - stroke survivor ~
"After suffering a stroke, followed by a ruptured brain aneurysm, I was hospitalized for two months after brain surgery. Not having any family members visit from Ontario to help me meant it was imperative for me to get help for myself. I saw an article in our local newspaper about Delta Stroke Recovery Society and phoned for information.
I attended the meetings which were extremely caring, helpful and positive. I really enjoyed the brain games, exercises and the camaraderie. I knew I was in the right place as there were other stroke survivors and we all had different types of strokes. I wasn’t all alone. I don’t know where I would be without this organization.
What I have learned on my journey is that I am a survivor. I focus on what I can do rather than on what I can’t do and take one day at a time as now there is a ‘new normal’ for me. I am so grateful for the Delta Stroke Recovery Society and its programs and really look forward to our weekly meetings. It is nice to know that there is help out there and that you’re not alone! I highly recommend them."
