Our chosen charity
We chose a charity for our business to support that is working to improve health and provide people with specialist support.
At Posturite we are all getting stuck into a multitude of activities to help support people affected by stroke and we're loving the opportunity to give back to our communities.
Team fundraising and volunteering
"The partnership between Posturite and the Stroke Association has been fantastic for everyone to get engaged in!" says Chris Jones Posturite's MD.
"Obviously it's been great to raise the money and awareness, but actually the benefits for us, for me, have far outweighed what we've done for the Stroke Association. It's been about togetherness. Everybody in the business has been involved. It's been astonishing!"

What does the Stroke Association charity do?
The Stroke Association provides specialist support, funds stroke research and campaigns to ensure people affected by stroke get the very best support and care to rebuild their lives.
Why did Posturite choose the Stroke Association to support?
- Stroke is the UK's leading cause of disability; we want to help. We were moved by how great the need is when we learnt that there are 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK. Stroke is often a life-changing event, with a devastating impact. It can affect our ability to move, communicate and lead our everyday lives. Emotional changes, anxiety and depression can be experienced by stroke survivors. All these difficulties led us to feel that stroke is a very important cause.
- Improving health is what we seek to do at Posturite. A health charity is right for us.
- The Stroke Association team is a caring and dynamic charity doing important and impressive work. We've enjoyed meeting their team members.
What do we want to raise awareness of?
- Stroke is a condition which affects people of all ages.
- The 'FAST test' can help you recognise the most common signs of stroke:
- Facial weakness: Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
- Arm weakness: Can the person raise both arms?
- Speech problems: Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
- Time to call 999: if you see any of these signs
- How to reduce your risk of stroke
Remember that stroke is a medical emergency.
