Age Concern Nelson Tasman

Age Concern Nelson Tasman loves bringing people together to connect, share stories and laugh.

Our vision is that all older people live a meaningful life in an inclusive society, and at the heart of all our work is a passion and commitment to keeping older people free from harm and connecting them to relevant support services.

We now have two offices in the region, having opened a Nelson office in early 2022, and a staff of ten who are committed to promoting positive ageing and offering a wide range of services.

• Our visiting service – offering regular visits and friendship to older adults looking for more company.

• Elder abuse response – making sure our community are safe and free from harm, whether it’s financial, physical or emotional abuse.

• Care & Repair – a service that matches approved providers with people looking for help around the home, from gardeners and handypeople to hairdressers and plumbers.

• Older driver programmes and workshops – Staying Safe (a refresher of the road rules) and AA CarFit (making sure you’re as safe and comfortable as possible), as well as Life Without A Car.

• Summer Activities Series – six weeks of have-a-go activities across the region, all free for people 65+!

With over 170 volunteers helping us deliver our services, we are a growing and thriving charity, and are committed to making Nelson Tasman the most age-friendly region in Aotearoa.
