Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand

With the ongoing support of the Trust House Foundation, Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand has made a meaningful difference in the lives of stroke survivors and communities across the Wairarapa, Remutaka, and Porirua regions.

Each year, over 9,000 strokes and an unknown number of transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) occur in Aotearoa. Stroke remains the second leading cause of death and one of the primary causes of adult disability in New Zealand.

Over the past year alone, thanks to the generous support of the Trust House Foundation, we’ve been able to reach and engage with over 800 people across these communities through free health checks, stroke awareness and prevention presentations and one-on-one support for stroke survivors and their whānau.

Together, we are working toward a stronger, healthier Aotearoa, one where fewer lives are impacted by stroke, and more people have access to life-saving knowledge and support.

"On behalf of Waimanaaki and the Live and Learn Trust, we thank you for your grant to help the camp in a range of ways. With these funds we have been able to purchase sixty new mattresses for campers to enjoy in the cabins. These new mattresses have a hospital-grade cover to help ease cleaning and maintain safe, hygienic practices to ensure all those who stay in the cabins are comfortable and well looked after for many camps to come. We have also been able to purchase a generator to power the campsite during outages and provide electricity for the local Riversdale residents if there is a prolonged outage. We have also completed the upgrade to all the gas regulators on-site to ensure we are up to code
and all safe.."
