Earlier in the year our team nominated the stroke association as part of our Pledge 1% commitment.
The Stroke Association UK is a charity organization that works to prevent strokes and support those affected by them. The organization provides support to stroke survivors, their families, and caregivers through a range of services such as rehabilitation, information, and advice.
Here's why the Team at Steadman Brown nominated to support the Stroke Association UK:
- Strokes can happen to anyone at any age, and they are a leading cause of disability in the UK. Supporting the Stroke Association UK means supporting vital research into stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
- The Stroke Association UK provides practical and emotional support to those affected by strokes. The organization offers a helpline, support groups, and a range of online resources to help people cope with the impact of strokes on their lives.
- The Stroke Association UK raises awareness of stroke and the importance of acting fast when someone is experiencing symptoms. Knowing the signs of a stroke and seeking treatment quickly can mean the difference between life and death, or between a full recovery and long-term disability.
- Supporting the Stroke Association UK means contributing to a community of people who are dedicated to improving the lives of stroke survivors and their families. By donating, volunteering, or fundraising for the organization, you can help make a real difference in the lives of those affected by strokes.
What is Pledge 1%?
Pledge 1% is a global movement that encourages companies to donate 1% of their equity, product, time, or profit to support nonprofit organizations in their communities. The idea behind Pledge 1% is that companies can make a positive impact on their communities and society at large by donating a small portion of their resources.
The movement was started by a group of entrepreneurs who wanted to make it easy for companies to give back to their communities. The founders of Pledge 1% believed that companies have a responsibility to use their resources to make the world a better place, and that by making a commitment to donate 1% of their resources, companies could have a significant impact on the world.
Since its inception in 2014, Pledge 1% has grown into a global movement, with over 13,000 companies across the world participating. These companies range from small startups to large corporations, and they come from a variety of industries.
By taking the Pledge 1%, companies commit to giving back to their communities and making a positive impact on society. This can take many forms, such as donating money or products to nonprofit organizations, volunteering time and expertise, or giving back a portion of their profits.
Through Pledge 1%, a powerful movement that encourages companies to use their resources for good and make a positive impact on the world, we look to give back to our communities and help make the world a better place.
This charity that plays a vital role in preventing strokes and supporting those affected by them. By supporting this organization, we aim to help make a positive impact on the lives of stroke survivors and their families, and contribute to ongoing research into stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
