Did you know about this fantastic support service? It is free and confidential and you will talk with a qualified health professional.

Thank you to everyone who sent in their postcards with messages of Faith, Hope and Courage - we are excited to say we have reached our target of 500 postcards, and have received some brilliant and inspiring messages from so many people touched by stroke. We also have had some lovely messages sent in by a few more well known people including Sandra Sully and John Newcombe. We only have space for a few more, so if you have created a postcard but haven’t sent it in yet, please make sure to send it in by the 29^th July and your card could appear next to these.

If you are in the area, make sure you get down to the NSW Parliament House to view the exhibition between 3-28 August, entry is free.

The exhibition will be officially launched  by the Minister for Health the Hon. John Della Bosca at a morning tea on Wednesday 5 August at 10.30am at the Jubilee Room, Parliament House NSW, Macquarie Street, Sydney.

We will be celebrating the start of the exhibition with a cocktail party and fundraiser on the evening of Monday 3 August. If you are interested in attending the morning tea or cocktail party launch events please email Jasmine at jlesniak@strokefoundation.com.au

Have you ever wanted to be a Volunteer? Put your experiences to use? Help someone else in need?

We have two volunteering opportunities at the NSF and we really need your help.

The aim of Phone Peer Support is to connect stroke survivors with

volunteering carers and stroke survivors over the phone to provide them with emotional and practical support.

strokesafe^TM  is an education program where volunteers will provide the community with crucial knowledge to help them understand and remember the signs of stroke and how to prevent a stroke.

Training will be provided.

All you have to do is complete the volunteer application form.

Judi Halliday's painting for Stroke of Art 2009

The Stroke of Art exhibition will be opening at NSW Parliament House in just over four weeks.

This is your last chance to be a part of the celebration of Faith, Hope, Courage.  

Our target is to display over 500 postcards from around the country and we are almost half way to reaching our target - but we NEED your help to meet our goal.

If you haven’t yet returned your postcard back to us - this is a reminder to mail it back this week - so you don’t miss out on being included in the exhibition. We must have ALL postcards returned by Mon 13 July.

If you haven’t already received your Stroke of Art postcard and would like to order some of the last ones, send an email to admin@strokefoundation.com.au with your name, address details and number of postcards and we’ll mail out to you pronto!

Thanks to the thousands of people who have ordered the postcards. Please help us fill the NSW Parliament House with messages about stroke!
