We are delighted to screen the 12 minute Opera ‘I Look For the Think’ made in lockdown with 60 Stroke Ambassadors and the Garsington Opera Adult Community Company. You can watch the film and Q&A on our Facebook Live recording.
Ambassadors offer peer support for people beginning the journey towards rebuilding their lives. Ambassadors make and tour performances and give presentations.
We have established groups in Reading, Bristol and London, where Odysseys has been delivered in partnership with local health, education and arts partners.
Recovering Hope shares the findings from a decade of working with stroke communities and offers a model of how to set up similar programmes in other localities
