Northern Suburbs Stroke Survivors Club meeting

Peter from Karori

Kia ora,

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 4th of October in Zampelles coffee shop in Johnsonville Mall at 2 p.m.

We look forward to seeing fellow stroke survivors and their carers there.

Did you know that 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??
Kind regards

Tony Biss
President

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
