Stroke Foundation Of NZ

Welcome to the Stroke Foundation of NZ, a beacon of hope and support in Wellington since 1986. We're more than just a welfare organisation; we're a community that rallies around those affected by stroke. Our heart lies in fostering an environment where survivors, families, and whānau can find comfort, understanding, and the strength to rebuild their lives. Our journey began over three decades ago, and since then, we've grown into a network of dedicated professionals and compassionate volunteers. We offer more than just information, support, and referrals; we provide a lifeline for those navigating the complexities of stroke recovery. From physical exercise and social contact through our vibrant Stroke Clubs to advocacy that ensures your voice is heard, we're here every step of the way. We believe in the power of healthy living, encouraging quit smoking initiatives, gym programmes, green prescriptions, and active participation in exercise groups. We champion the importance of healthy eating, offering guidance and resources to help you make informed choices for better health. But our support doesn't stop there. We offer needs assessment support, helping you navigate the challenges of daily life after a stroke. At Stroke Foundation of NZ, we understand that recovery is not just about physical healing; it's about rediscovering oneself and finding joy in life again. That's why we place equal emphasis on emotional wellbeing and family/whānau support. We offer resources and guidance to help you and your loved ones cope with the emotional toll of stroke, providing a much-needed lifeline for those in need. Join us in our mission to create a world free from the fear of stroke. Together, we can make a difference, one step, one stroke at a time. Welcome to our community—your journey towards recovery starts here with the Stroke Foundation of NZ.
