Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand
Helping the thousands of Kiwis who are affected by stroke.
Nationwide
Stroke is New Zealand’s second single biggest killer and a leading cause of serious adult disability. Over 10,000 strokes are experienced in Aotearoa each year - that's 27 every day and more than one every 55 minutes. The mission of Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand is to prevent strokes and improve lives. For over 40 years, they have dedicated themselves to this important work.
A large portion of funds needed to operate Stroke Aotearoa come from fundraising, so it’s a direct result of your support that we're able to make an incredible difference to the lives of those affected by stroke, as well as the health and well-being of all New Zealanders.
By fundraising for Stroke Aotearoa, you're supporting our vital Community Stroke Navigators, providing free pulse and blood pressure checks to the public, and training communities, health groups and health professionals on stroke. You’re also supporting our life-saving health promotion activity, including our free phone helpline for people affected by stroke, the F.A.S.T. message and advocation for improved services and care for stroke survivors.
Stroke Foundation of New Zealand is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005, registration number CC49490.
