Dress up, be "bad" and help raise funds for victims of Strokes
It was reported in Stuff in June that the number of strokes are on track to increase by 40 per cent over the next decade unless urgent action is taken to reduce the looming healthcare burden.
Strokes affect people of all ages. Around a quarter of all strokes will occur in people under the age of 65 and about 40 children have a stroke every year in New Zealand.
Fundraising is important to enable the organisations who support people with strokes to continue their work.
This year Stroke Central and Kauri Theatre have joined forces to hold a fundraising ‘Bad Girls (& Boys) Ball’ on August 24, so named to reflect Kauri Theatre’s production of Bad Girls the Musical - to be staged in September at the Gryphon Theatre.
The ball is being held at The Boatshed in Wellington on Friday, August 24, 2018. It is not a fancy dress event just an opportunity to dress up and have fun The cost of the ticket includes live music, food, entertainment and spot prizes.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
