Information Displays

The Stroke Recovery Clubs and various community and health organisations throughout NSW undertake displays of information material during Stroke Awareness Week. These are often in local shopping centres, hospitals and libraries, with the aim being to distribute information as broadly as possible about Stroke prevention and the recovery process. Last year there were approximately 86 displays throughout the state and this year we are aiming for in excess of 100.

Pottery Fundraiser

The Stroke Recovery Association has received the patronage of a number of Potters from throughout NSW who have donated works of art as a means of fundraising. The pieces are available for viewing here. The fundraising will be through silent auction so go in and have a look, you may be able to pick up a beautiful item. A number of paintings are also available. The auction will be finalised at the launch of Stroke Awareness Week (Tuesday 15th September) so those attending that function can make a further bid there.
