Friendship, laughter, culture, and community. ❤️

Our Whau Seniors Event brought together older adults from across the community for a day of connection, celebration, entertainment, activities, and shared experiences.

From cultural performances and conversations to food, friendship, and fun, it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the day and making new connections.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped create such a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.

Thank you to Local Board, Community Trust, Ethnic Collective, and for helping make this event possible.

Smiles, style, and plenty of confidence on the catwalk! ✨

One of the highlights of our Whau Seniors Event was the fashion show, where older adults stepped into the spotlight and showed that style has no age limit.

🎙️ We're proud to share that Age Concern Auckland's podcast series was recognised as a finalist in the Best Asian Podcast category at the NZ Radio & Podcast Awards 2026!

The three-episode series explored issues affecting older adults in South Asian communities, including:

🔹 Understanding the services and support available through Age Concern Auckland
🔹 The positive impact of volunteering, featuring an inspiring 69-year-old volunteer
🔹 The challenges migration can bring for older adults, including changes in identity, dependence, and caregiver stress, along with ways families and communities can offer support

A special congratulations to Jyoti, whose dedication helped bring these important conversations to life and reach more people in our community.

We're honoured to have these stories and experiences recognised on a national stage. 💜

💜 Making a Difference Together

We're grateful to have recently partnered with Give a Kid a Blanket, whose generosity is helping bring comfort and practical support to older people in our community.

These photos capture just a few of the smiles that have come from this partnership. One client was delighted to receive blankets and household essentials, while another was over the moon to receive a donated washing machine organised by Age Concern Auckland after moving into his new home, along with a care package from Give a Kid a Blanket.

It's often the practical things that make the biggest difference. Knowing that our community comes together to support one another can bring comfort, dignity, and a sense of belonging.

A heartfelt thank you to Give a Kid a Blanket and everyone involved in making these donations possible. Your generosity is making a real difference in the lives of older Aucklanders. 💜

📱💜 Connecting Generations Through Technology

Last month, older people from our community joined students at Kristin School for one-to-one digital technology support, continuing a partnership that has been helping older Aucklanders build confidence with technology since 2010.

The Year 13 Senior Service Committee, supported by other student volunteers, spent time helping participants get more from their phones, tablets and digital devices. Alongside the learning, there was plenty of conversation, laughter, and a wonderful afternoon tea organised by the students.

One of the highlights was a participant in her 90s who was keen to learn more about artificial intelligence because, as she put it, she "wants to keep up". She later sent a thank-you letter generated with AI!

A special thank you to Kristin School, teacher Sarah Wakefield, and the many students who generously shared their time and skills. We'd also like to acknowledge Katie Rom, whose dedication has helped nurture this valued partnership over many years.

These connections remind us that learning has no age limit, and that bringing generations together benefits everyone involved. 🌟

HOT POT, LAUGHTER, AND LIFE-LONG FRIENDSHIPS 🍲🥢

What does a perfect weekend look like? For volunteer couple Matthew and Vicky, it involves a steaming hot pot and an incredible cross-generational friendship!

Two months ago, Matthew and Vicky were matched with Raymond and his wife, Irene. It didn't take long for them to realise they had found an extension of their own family.

Almost every weekend now, the four gather around the dinner table to cook, share traditional Chinese dishes, and enjoy each other's company. Between the rising steam of the hot pot, endless laughter, and sharing stories of their different backgrounds and cultures, the hours simply fly by.

Matthew and Vicky hope this beautiful friendship continues to enrich all of their lives for many years to come.

Volunteering isn't just an act of service—it’s an open door to meeting your favorite people. This June, for , we are celebrating Matthew and Vicky for bringing their energy and hearts to our community.

Grab a mate, or your partner, and find out how you can get involved! 🇳🇿
