We're pleased to share the updated SSO Toolkit. This toolkit has been developed with input from our SSO members and we hope that wherever you are on your SSO journey that you find some of the information, resources and insights in the toolkit helpful.
The Stroke Support Organization Toolkit is WSO's ‘core’ resource offering guidance on developing and growing an SSO. It is intended to support key aspects of developing an organization: people, purpose, management and impact. We will follow this core resource with a suite of manuals that will delve deeper into topics including campaigning and advocacy and life after stroke issues.
WSO recognises the importance of SSOs and their contribution to raising awareness and improving stroke care. In 2020 WSO completed the first ever global mapping of SSOs to understand where they are located and what activities they are delivering. The responses from 92 SSOs across 58 countries showed that, not only is the global SSO network growing, and mobilizing large numbers of people affected by and engaged with stroke, but many SSOs are operating beyond their own borders. As a result, SSOs have considerable potential to drive improved stroke outcomes globally. However, the global mapping highlighted several challenges faced by SSOs:
This toolkit aims to respond to some of these challenges by acting as a resource for both existing and new SSOs.
Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
