🌺 Spreading a little aroha! 💕🎂
A huge thank you to the Presbyterian Support Upper South Island Team, who popped into the office today with the most beautiful flowers, coffee and a delicious homemade cake as a thoughtful thank you for all that we do.
We are so grateful for their kindness and generosity. They asked us to share this with our wonderful volunteers and Board, who give so much of their time and support to our community.
What a beautiful reminder that a little kindness and aroha can go a long way. 💐❤️
Thank you, Presbyterian Support Upper South Island, for spreading the aroha and brightening our day! 🥰

What a way to spend a wet cold week!
We have been making flowers, art and decorations for tropical week for a wee while now in preparation for tropical week at 206 club. The week was finally here, three days of tropical fun!
We enjoyed coconut bowls, boat straw wars, and head net fishing 😉
We had our usual beautiful hot meals from our volunteer cooks Lillian, Julie and Bev with a tropical desert each day too. Thankful to Laura Viliamu who came and danced for us on the Monday, she was beautiful! To all our volunteers and extra helpers, thank you so much for all you do to make it a happy place for our wonderful seniors 😀

June is World Elder Abuse Awareness Month

Elder Abuse Awareness Week (15-22 June) is a time to raise awareness of an issue that affects many older people in our community.

To support this important campaign, information displays have been set up in The Ashburton Arcade and Ashburton Library. Take a moment to visit the displays and find out more about elder abuse, how to recognise the warning signs, and where to get help and support.

This year’s message is simple:

See it. Hear it. Speak up.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. Raising concerns could make a real difference in someone’s life.

Call Age Concern Ashburton on 03 3086817 or
Call the national helpline - 0800 32 668 65 or text 5032
