Stroke Awareness Month 2021

Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 34 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges Stroke Awareness Month 2021; considers that the Stroke Association has designated May as its annual stroke awareness month, and that in 2021 the charity is launching its "Save research. Rebuild lives" campaign; understands that the event runs throughout May and the campaign will raise awareness of the damaging effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on stroke research; notes that a severe drop in charitable income means that the charity’s research budget for 2021 has been cut in half, putting new, innovative research at risk; further notes the charity’s calls for people to donate, fundraise and raise awareness of its stroke research; considers that, in addition, Stroke Awareness Month is intended to raise awareness of strokes, their impact on people who have had them and on their friends and families, in addition to educating the general public on the signs and symptoms of strokes, what causes strokes, what happens during a stroke and what to do in the event of someone having a stroke, and wishes everyone involved all the very best in their endeavours.
