Description

Age Concern Wellington is a registered charity providing services and support for people aged 65 and over in the Wellington, Porirua, Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt region.

Our vision is for our older population to be a thriving, respected and engaged part of our community.

Our services help older people live their best lives. This means:

  • connecting people with each other and their communities,
  • protecting people from avoidable harm,
  • promoting health and wellbeing,
  • enabling people to maintain their independence, and
  • helping people find fulfilment.

As a member of Age Concern New Zealand we work closely with a network of local Age Concern organisations which provide similar services to older people throughout the country.
