STROKE survivors can take up the offer of a free complimentary ticket for their companion at Bromsgrove's Artrix.

Artrix will be joining forces with the Stroke Association’s Life after Stroke Centre on Friday, April 24 to offer stroke survivors the chance to be part of their new scheme which offers a free complimentary ticket for their companion.

TC Peppercorn, Artrix learning and engagement co-ordinator, said: "Artrix is truly a place for everyone and I think it’s important that we support those who may find it difficult to access our programme without the help of a companion or carer.

"Reducing feelings of isolation and helping people affected by stroke to engage in their community can have a positive impact on their wellbeing."
