Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is stroke.org.uk legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns stroke.org.uk?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for stroke.org.uk. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

Stroke.org.uk
The Stroke Association is a UK national charity dedicated to combating stroke across all ages. It funds research into prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, and provides direct support to stroke patients and families through community services including dysphasia support, family counseling, and welfare grants. The organization also campaigns and educates to raise awareness of stroke, which causes greater disability impact than any other medical condition in the UK.

What stroke.org.uk said about itself, 2006
Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2006
Each year over 130,000 people in England and Wales have a stroke. Of all people who suffer from a stroke, about a third are likely to die within the first 10 days, about a third are likely to make a recovery within one month and about a third are likely to be left disabled and needing rehabilitation. Stroke has a greater disability impact than any other medical condition.
