Our volunteer Falls Prevention Peer Leaders for Steady As You Go, Tai Chi and Aligned to Go are a vital part of our programme. Without them we simply would not be able to reach all the participants of our 112 classes throughout Dunedin and Otago! We thank them most sincerely for enabling the physical and social benefits of our classes to their participants.

⚠️ Elder abuse doesn’t always look like abuse.
It can look like:
“Just helping with the finances”
“They’re forgetful anyway”
“Family matters should stay private”
But behind closed doors, the reality can be very different.
• 73% of cases involve psychological harm
• Nearly 1 in 3 involve financial abuse
• 84% of harm is caused by family members
And often, it goes on for months — even years.
This isn’t about blame.
It’s about awareness — and change.
If something feels off, trust that instinct.
Because silence is where abuse grows.
💜 Let’s make Otago a place where it’s safe to speak up.

Thank you to the Otago Masonic Lodge Charitable Trust for your support of Age Concern Otago. We enjoyed the afternoon tea and connecting with the other charities who benefited from your kindness this year. It was also a great opportunity to catch up with our mayor.
