Stroke kitchen refurbishment Donate Help us raise funds to refurbish our outdated stroke therapy and rehabilitation kitchen to help patients regain independence after a stroke. After a stroke, people can often be left with reduced strength and balance, and with co-ordination and thinking skills impaired. Being able to make your own meals is hugely important and integral to a person's independence, wellbeing and self-confidence. With the right rehabilitation, many people who have had a stroke can re-learn lost skills needed to live independent lives. The refurbished kitchen will have: Height adjustable counters that can rise and fall Sockets within easy reach Adequate turning space for a wheelchair Bright sky art panels to introduce light into the space Updated appliances and crockery, including adaptive aids The new kitchen will allow our occupational therapy team help patients who have had a stroke use a kitchen so that they can return home and live independently.
