Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors meeting - avoiding a stroke

Peter from Karori

Kia ora,

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??

Our next meeting of the Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors will be on Tuesday 11th July at 10.30am at Huntleigh Home, 221 Karori Road.

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

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

Nga mihi,
Peter Macleod
Convenor

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.

If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?
