What a privilege for us to meet the stroke researchers working hard at UCL Institute for Global Health! Posturite MD Chris Jones was invited by our charity partner the Stroke Association to see where the money we’re raising for stroke survivors is being spent.
Is stroke research really underfunded? Professor Fenella Kirkham told us that stroke research receives relatively little funding sadly, yet there are 1.4 million stroke survivors in the UK. So Posturite is on a mission to help.
Big thanks to neurology team members Shifa Hamdule and Professor Kirkham for giving us this special insight into your work. Along with Chris, Martin Green and Kate Wright from Posturite loved this opportunity to meet you.
Unfortunately, you can have a stroke at any age. Shifa Hamdule is undertaking Stroke Association-funded research with people aged 18-40 who have had a stroke.

It’s very exciting to have now raised £118,000 for the Stroke Association! 🤩 During the 3 years of the partnership, the Posturite team have had so much fun taking part in the , quizzes, marathon running and much more. We’re very grateful to every single one of our partners and team members who has contributed 🙌
As Chris Jones says:
“Most of us in the Posturite team know someone who has been affected by stroke. Stroke research makes a real difference in saving lives, reducing disability, and improving quality of life. It means a great deal to us at Posturite to support it.”
