At the heart of everything Age Concern does is a passion to see older people experience well-being, respect, dignity, and to be included and valued.
We support, inform and advise older people on issues such as access to health care, transport, housing, financial entitlements, and social opportunities.
We also work to combat real problems in our society, like elder abuse and neglect, chronic loneliness and social isolation. We provide specialist services with trained and qualified professionals able to give expert advice and assistance.
Age Concern is a charity and relies on the support of volunteers and public donations to do much of the work we do.
To help us help older people, please consider making a donation of your time or money. To see how, visit www.ageconcern.org.nz
