looking for new members to join our casual/fun weekly coffee/ stroke meeting

Hi Craig

It is great to hear that you have weekly meetings for stroke survivors to casually meet. Have you heard of any in Adelaide as It would take me a lot of time to travel back and forth.

Adam

Hi Adam,Thanks for enquiring about our meetings, yes, it would be a long way for you to travel, but worth it, no, I havnt heard of any meetings in Adelaide but try asking physios & OTs at your hospitals in Adelaide, otherwise you may have to start your own group, it's not that difficult, I'm sure you could do it,

Cheers, Craig.

Hi Craig

Do you know if there is a group for Carers only (of Stroke Survivors). Perhaps I may just have to start my own?

Regards Rose

Hi Rose,

The National Stroke Foundation can assist you with a Stroke Support Group tool kit to assist you with starting a group.
