our history

Over 30 years, HSSG has established six community rehabilitation groups within the Helderberg Basin and one in Grabouw.

Know theSignsof aStroke

While stroke is the fifth leading cause of death, few people know the signs. Use the acronym BE FAST to remember the signs of stroke, and what to do if someone near you is experiencing them.

Community Rehabilitation groups

We currently run various Community Rehabilitation Groups have been established in the
Helderberg Basin and in Grabouw to provide weekly group therapy for stroke
survivors. These support groups supply much-needed rehabilitation for many
underprivileged members of the community.

Training and Education

The aim of this program is to improve the quality of care for those affected by a stroke. A stroke is a life altering event that could happen to a person, and this has a further impact on the friends, family, and wider community.

STROKE PREVENTION

The HSSG believes that knowledge is power and if our beneficiaries and their communities are educated on their risk factors, we can reduce the number of people affected by a stroke thus reducing the burden of disease on the government and healthcare system.
