To assist Stroke SA in supporting the costs of support groups, to provide community information to increase the awareness of Stroke in the community.

Why are we collecting funds?

Stroke S.A. endeavours to:

• Promote appropriate services for the treatment and rehabilitation for those with stroke.
• Increase public awareness of stroke.
• Increase the amount of literature to cover all problems after stroke.
• Have support groups in all areas.

Stroke S.A. have support groups operating to offer people with stroke and their carers the opportunity for social contact with others of similar experience.

These groups give the chance to discuss problems with others who have first hand knowledge of them, and to hear solutions which others have worked out for themselves.

Many people find that the groups give them back what they thought they would never enjoy again, such as self esteem, fellowship, fun, a sense of purpose and pleasure in life.
