Help to spread the F.A.S.T. message

One in five people will have a stroke at some time in their life. A stroke could happen to you, a friend or family member. So being able to recognise the signs of stroke and calling 999 if you suspect a stroke is crucial.

F.A.S.T. is a vitally important message. To maintain awareness over time we need more than an advertising campaign.

By increasing awareness of the warning signs of stroke, we can all help to save lives. You can help us by spreading the F.A.S.T. message to people you know.

Spread the message

By telling people you know about F.A.S.T.
Forwarding our F.A.S.T. email to all your contacts.
Downloading / ordering F.A.S.T. materials to distribute.
Organising a local F.A.S.T. campaign. Download our Guide to running a local F.A.S.T. campaign to find out more.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you want any advice or further information about how to spread the F.A.S.T message in your local area. If you are interested in running your own local campaign, we can also send you a F.A.S.T. pack which includes our Guide to running a local F.A.S.T. campaign. The guide provides all the information you will need to get started.
