Enhancing the well-being and quality of life

Age Concern is a non-pro t organization dedicated to enhancing the well-being and quality of life for older people in the community and is very active in both Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

With a rich history of supporting seniors, its volunteers provide a range of services and programs tailored to meet the unique needs of older individuals.

The organisation is committed to promoting active aging and social inclusion; this is especially necessary in an age known to be prone to social isolation and vulnerability. It’s focus includes various activities, workshops, and events that encourage seniors to stay connected, learn new skills, and engage in meaningful interactions with their peers.

From exercise classes and arts and crafts sessions to social outings and educational seminars, Age Concern strives to foster a sense of belonging and purpose among older adults.

In addition to the social aspects, Age Concern also provides essential support services. It o ers a wealth of information and advocacy to help seniors navigate the complexities of government agencies, health services, and legal matters – and, more often than many realise, their own families. The trained volunteers and sta are available to o er guidance and assistance, ensuring that older individuals can access the support they need.

By valuing and respecting the contributions and experiences of older people, the organisation plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall well-being of the aging population in the Waipa region.
