Stroke recovery group seeks helpers

 

Woy Woy Stroke Recovery Group is in need of volunteers to assist in the supervision of their hydrotherapy classes at Woy Woy Hospital Hydrotherapy Pool.

The classes are held every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 10am until 11am and prospective volunteers would be required to be in the water at this time to assist stroke-affected people with their exercises.

Prospective volunteers would also need to have a first aid CPR certificate which the Stroke Recovery Club would gladly arrange and pay for.

The club would love to hear from anyone who could assist at either or both of these times.

Interested parties could nominate the times that are suitable to them - once a week, fortnightly or another arrangement.

People who have had a stroke and whose doctor says that hydrotherapy would assist recovery can contact the club and they will advise how to join the group.

Those able to help are asked to please contact June Margaret Parker on 4342 3235 or Malcolm Lette on 4242 3215 for more information.
