The New Douglas Drive Stroke Support Hub is launching on

Thursday 12th September 2024.

The aim of The Stroke Support Hub is to offer a safe, informal space whereby those living with the effects of Stroke can meet and socialise.

With a café style set up, they’ll be the opportunity to take part in games and activities or, just chill and chat with friends.

Douglas Drive is a Day Centre supporting Senior Citizens and Stroke Survivors from Stevenage and the surrounding villages, currently providing 2 general day care sessions for the Elderly and people living with Dementia and one session for Stroke Survivors.

This week we announced the news that from September 2024, Douglas Drive will be adding a third day for General Day Care and Dementia clients, allowing us to reach more people in need of the service we provide.

We are also launching an exciting new Stroke Support Hub!… watch this space for more information!

Volunteers play a huge part in delivering the service we offer, but we always need more!

If you have a few hours to spare and would like to get involved, please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

Having put a shout out for a painter, Daryl of Tilbury Painting & Decorating got in touch with us.

On realising the work we do at Douglas Drive, Daryl very kindly offered to do the work with no labour costs.

Daryl gave up his time on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday to decorate both our front porch fascia and front doors.

It looks absolutely amazing… a fantastic job Daryl, thank you, you’re a star.⭐

Issue number 13 of our Douglas Drive Newsletter is out now! Grab a cuppa and enjoy!

As one of the Mayors chosen charities we would like to thank Myla Arceno Stevenage Mayor and the Mayor’s Consort John Arceno for a fantastic evening at The Mayors Charity Ball.

Amazing amount raised for not only Douglas Drive but The Red Shed, @hertswise and Stevenage World Forum.
