A Major Role in Recovery

Blacktown Stroke Recovery Club is part of Stroke Recovery Association NSW which started up 45 years ago and have called Blacktown Workers Club Group home. Made up of 50 stroke members and carers who attend weekly to enjoy the company of each other and for respite.

The Stroke Club plays a major role in the recovery and support through games, activities, bus trips and cruises. Members confidence and speech impairment have improved through encouragment of sharing their knowledge and experiences of stroke.

Blacktown Workers is proud to support the Stroke Club as they are an excellent source of companionship for all those affected by stroke, who can often feel isolated and very emotional.
