We're calling for all creative responses to promoting peace, whether that's by art, photography, quilting, woodwork, poetry, music or more. A public display will be held at St Ninian's (208 Karori Rd) on Sun 3 Dec from 2-5pm.

Kia ora,

Our next meeting of the Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors will be on Tuesday 14th November at 10.30am at Huntleigh Home, 221 Karori Road.

There will be a presentation on Advance Care Planning by Kay Webster.

To find us, go in and past Reception and turn right.

Did you know in New Zealand about 9,000 people each year have a stroke. Some 2,000 die from a stroke; about another 2,000 are left severely incapacitated, about another 2,000 have considerable disability and the rest have some disability or nearly recover. Nobody recovers completely.
It is estimated that some 50% of strokes can be avoided with life style changes.
Interested to find out what you can do to have a good chance to avoid a stroke??

We look forward to meeting all fellow stroke survivors, carers and friends and discussing how we are getting on.

Nga mihi,
Peter Macleod
Convenor

Preparing Your Home For Sale

Rita Angus Retirement Village

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.

Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.
