Thanks to the generosity of the late Peter Morath who included a gift in his will for this purpose, Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand is proud to offer a National Mobility Scooter Fund, for stroke survivors across Aotearoa.

Regaining independence after a stroke can be life-changing. For many survivors, access to safe and reliable mobility is key to reconnecting with whānau, community, and everyday life. This fund offers an unprecedented opportunity to enhance freedom, wellbeing, and confidence.

In partnership with Independent Living

To ensure each applicant receives a personalised service, we have partnered with Independent Living Charitable Trust - experts in the assessment and selection of mobility scooters. This means every scooter is matched to the unique needs and circumstances of the individual, providing both safety and comfort.
