The Older Persons Expo has been postponed until April 2022

The annual initiative is a partnership between the Waimakariri District Council, Presbyterian Support, the Age-Friendly Advisory Group and Citizens Advice Bureau. The partners identified that one of the highest needs for older people is accessing the right service alongside being socially connected with their community.

When: Thursday 21 April 2022 Where: Rangiora Baptist Church, East Belt Free Entry and morning tea. Parking available.

The Expo offers an opportunity to encourage older people to remain actively involved in their community and make use of the many social services available to support them. A number of organisations who provide services to senior adults in our District will have displays with staff and volunteers on hand to chat with and provide more information on their activities.
