Did you know that neglect and self-neglect are forms of elder abuse?

Neglect happens when an older person isn't getting the food, care, medical attention, or human connection they need. It can be deliberate, or it can happen when a carer is stretched too thin and struggling themselves.

Self-neglect is just as important to recognise - when a person is unable to meet their own needs due to isolation, trauma, or declining health, they need compassion and support, not judgement.

This June as part of the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we're asking everyone to look a little closer, because everyone deserves to be seen, safe, and cared for. 💜

Let's take that step together, and make sure they're not alone.

Contact Age Concern - 0800 65 2 105 or you can go to our website for more information: https://www.ageconcern.org.nz/Public/News_and_events/Campaigns/World_Elder_Abuse_Awareness_Day

Mystery Tour success! ✅

📍 Somerset Farm Settlers Cottage – Bridget shared the cottage history while we enjoyed the sun
📍 Rare Creations – interactive wooden art, gallery & workshop tour
📍 Mapua Wharf – lunch with a view.

These outings are about more than a day trip. They’re about connection, wellbeing, and trying new things together.

Thanks to everyone who came along! Where should we explore next? 👇
