Marlborough Stroke Club

Welcome to Marlborough Stroke Club

Founded on the principles of care and community, the Marlborough Stroke Club stands as a beacon of hope for stroke survivors and their loved ones. As a voluntary organisation, this club is dedicated to providing essential support, fostering friendships, and delivering education to those affected by stroke. With a range of regular gatherings tailored to different needs, the club ensures that everyone, regardless of age or ability, finds a place to belong. From fortnightly meetings for the less able-bodied to monthly Saturday lunch get-togethers for the more active members, there’s something for everyone. Additionally, the club offers specialised sessions for carers and younger stroke survivors still in the workforce, ensuring comprehensive care across the board.

Centrally located in Blenheim, Marlborough Stroke Club serves the heart of the Marlborough region, making it accessible to residents throughout the area. Meetings are held at St Mary's Parish Centre on Maxwell Road in Blenheim, providing a welcoming space for connection and support. Whether you're based in Blenheim Central or nearby Picton, where a monthly meeting is also hosted, the club is committed to being a local lifeline. The Marlborough region, known for its close-knit communities, is the perfect backdrop for this invaluable disability support service, ensuring no one faces the challenges of stroke recovery alone.

Our Meeting Schedule and Services

The Marlborough Stroke Club offers a structured yet flexible schedule to accommodate the diverse needs of its members. Fortnightly meetings for the less able-bodied occur on the second Friday of each month from 10am to 11:30am, providing a safe space for sharing and support. For carers, a dedicated group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the same time, offering respite and understanding. Monthly Saturday lunches at various venues cater to the more able-bodied, while younger stroke survivors in the workforce have their own monthly get-together. A separate meeting in Picton ensures broader accessibility across Marlborough. Beyond meetings, the club provides subsidised rehabilitation funding, easing the financial burden of recovery for members.
