Why support us?

For over 40 years, Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand has been here to save lives through stroke recovery and prevention in Aotearoa. 

With 85% of Stroke Aotearoa's services funded by individual donors, corporates, bequests and fundraising campaigns such as Beanie Up, we need your support this year as we are battling a growing tidal wave of strokes! 

Just last year, over 10,000 strokes were experienced in New Zealand, with that number set to rise by 40% before the end of this decade. We supported 3000 stroke survivors and their whānau through our life after stroke services, with over 200 hours per week of community outreach services.

When people ‘Beanie Up’ with us, they aren't simply raising vital funds for Stroke Aotearoa, they are also helping raise awareness about New Zealand's single biggest cause of serious adult disability. 

From the entire team at the Stroke Aotearoa - thank you for all your support.
