Karori/Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors meeting
Kia ora,
Karori Stroke Survivors has been renamed Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors, and expanded to include, at least, Northland, Wilton and Ngaio.
Our next meeting of the Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors will be on Tuesday 24th May at 1.30pm in Meeting Room One, Karori Community Centre. Access by 8 Beauchamp Street carpark, then a short walk to the Community Centre. It is also wheelchair friendly.
We will be meeting twice monthly, at 10.30am on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at Huntleigh Home, and the 4th Tuesday of each month at 1.30pm at Karori Community Centre.
We look forward to meeting all fellow stroke survivors, carers and friends and discussing how we are getting on.
Nga mihi,
Peter Macleod
Convenor

International Volunteer Managers Day
Yesterday marked International Volunteer Managers Day. So throughout this week we will be spotlighting several amazing volunteer managers from across the Wellington region.
Liv has recently started managing a diverse team of volunteers at The Free Store Wellington. Here are some words about what she loves about her role!
Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
