FAST

Be Fast, Stay Strong is a sports apparel range supporting the Stroke Association. Inspired by the FAST stroke response message, each piece helps raise awareness, fund recovery and empower stroke survivors.

What is FAST?

FAST is an easy way to remember the key signs of a stroke and the urgent action to take. If you or someone else shows any of these symptoms, call emergency services immediately — every second counts.

• Face: Has their face drooped on one side? Can they smile?

• Arms: Can they raise both arms, or is one arm weak?

• Speech: Is their speech slurred or strange? Can they understand you?

• Time: If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call for help right away.

Recognising FAST can save lives and reduce the long-term effects of stroke by ensuring quick treatment.
