Accredited Visiting Service Hawkes Bay
AGE CONCERN NAPIER is looking to recruit volunteer visitors for their Accredited Home Visiting Service (AVS) throughout the Hawkes Bay region. This is a befriending service for people over the age of 65, and is aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness amongst older people. Having a visitor can make a real difference to the health and happiness of an older person. Our visitors provide regular visits of about an hour per week, share interests and activities with clients, and bring a little sunshine into their lives.
If you would like to become part of our wonderful team of volunteers please contact us for further details. We would love to hear from you.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
