Age Concern Tairawhiti

Nestled in the sun-kissed heart of Gisborne, Age Concern Tairawhiti has been a cherished beacon of hope, companionship, and support for our community's elders since [founding date]. Our name may suggest an emphasis on age, but at our core, we are a vibrant community service that believes in nurturing the well-being of every individual. Our journey began with a simple yet profound vision: to enrich the lives of Tairawhiti's seniors and empower them to live independently, safely, and with dignity. Over the years, we have grown into a comprehensive organization that offers a myriad of services tailored to the unique needs of our valued community members. We are more than just a welfare organisation; we are friends, confidants, and advocates for those who have enriched our lives with their wisdom, experience, and resilience. Our visiting service allows us to extend our warmth and support to elders in the comfort of their own homes, fostering connections that transcend mere service. Recognising the importance of safety, we offer Staying Safe: Refresher Courses for Older Drivers, a program designed to equip our seniors with the knowledge they need to navigate our beautiful city's roads with confidence and security. We also provide information services, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need to thrive. But we are more than just service providers; we are supporters, offering a helping hand and a listening ear when needed most. Our advice is grounded in respect, empathy, and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by our seniors. We are committed to preventing elder abuse and neglect, ensuring that every senior in Tairawhiti can age gracefully and peacefully. In essence, we are Age Concern Tairawhiti – your neighbors, friends, and partners in care. We invite you to join us on our journey, as together we create a community where everyone can grow older with dignity, respect, and love. Welcome to our family; welcome home.
