SIR - The next week is National Volunteers' Week and on behalf of The Stroke Association I would like to personally thank the outstanding volunteers who contribute to the work of the organisation.

Their dedication is unrivalled, whether they are involved with our Rehabilitation and Support Services, relating their experiences to the media or fundraising. We couldn't do it without them!

The Stroke Association is the only national charity involved in combating stroke in people of all ages and there are always opportunities to get involved.

If you are interested please contact volunteering@stroke.org.uk or visit www.stroke.org.uk Lisa McDermott, Volunteer Co-ordinator (North Group), The Stroke Association, Pendleton Way, Salford
