The meeting will be held at the St Bryce Kirk - where the former support group used to meet

The events follow the closure last week of a long-running Chest, Heart and Stroke (Scotland) run support group in Kirkcaldy.

The group, which had met at St Bryce Kirk for the last 13 years, offered support to those suffering post stroke communication problems, as well as practical help for both sufferers and carers.

The meetings already arranged in Fife include St Bryce Kirk Centre, St Brycedale Avenue, Kirkcaldy on Tuesday, January 10, from 10am to 11am, and Dell Farquharson Centre, Nethertown Broad Street, Dunfermline on Wednesday, January 18, from 10am to 11am.

Anyone wanting to attend can so by simply turning up on the day.
