Stroke Association
Stroke Association is the leading charity in the UK changing the world for people affected by stroke. Our research, campaigning and support services support our vision for a world where there are fewer strokes and all those touched by stroke get the help they need. Volunteering has an enormous impact on what we are able to achieve and the range of services and support we are able to provide.
In Oxfordshire we are looking for Communication Support Volunteers to work with stroke survivors whose communication has been affected by their stroke to develop new strategies to aid their communication and improve their confidence and independence. We are also looking for Stroke Ambassadors to help us raise awareness of stroke, stroke prevention and the Stroke Association in your local community through delivering presentations and providing information at events.

Oxford Swans is a swimming club for disabled people of all ages. We are a friendly and supportive club. We do a lot of one-to-one work and group activity in the water.
Anyone can help, you don't have to be a proficient swimmer. Just an interest in swimming and helping is needed. The club can teach you all you need to know.
Help support our swimmers in the water. You will work with an experienced instructor at first, and discover how to help swimmers gain confidence in the water and learn to swim.
Gain skills and experience to use towards a career in teaching, health care, working with children, the elderly and people with a range of disabilities.
Regular helpers may choose to undertake the Halliwick Foundation course so you can qualify as a Halliwick Instructor (recognised by the Halliwick Association of Swimming Therapy and the International Halliwick Association).
