International Day of Older Persons is a day to celebrate all older people – to highlight the value of all older people and to promote dignity and respect. The 2018 international theme is “Celebrating Older Human Rights Champions“.


This year Age Concern New Zealand want all New Zealanders to sign up as Age Concern Dignity Champions and stand up for the human rights of older Kiwis.


“There is no excuse for elder abuse, says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive. I am appalled that we are still having to deal with cases each day where older people are taken advantage of.


“Just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are less valuable, have less purpose or should lose basic human rights, the right to make their own choices and respect from those around them.

“Of the cases we see, 75% of alleged abusers are family members, either adult children or partners of adult children and that needs to stop!

“So come on Kiwis we all have a part to play. You can take a stand against ageism and join me by signing up today!” says Stephanie.

An Age Concern Dignity Champion pledges to:
• Reject stereotypes and focus on the uniqueness of every individual
• Speak up when they hear people speaking negatively about growing old
• Have the courage to question practices they feel are disrespectful to older people
• Not patronise older people
• Be patient, polite and friendly
• Have zero tolerance for abuse or neglect
• Build relationships – they combat isolation and loneliness by getting to know the older people in their lives.

Christchurch Police are appealing for a witness to come forward following an attempted abduction in Ilam last week.

At around 5.50am on Friday 21 September, a man tried to abduct a woman jogger at the entrance to Ray Blank Park on Maidstone Road, Ilam.

The woman fought off the man, and a member of the public driving past stopped to help her.

The person who stopped to help then followed the man to a street nearby. Police went to the address and located the man.

The 27-year-old was arrested and has been charged with abduction and assault with intent to injure. He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on 4 October.

Police are still keen to speak with the person who stopped to assist in this incident. Anyone can get in touch by calling Christchurch Police on (03) 363 7400.

Hi neighbours,

Plastic supermarket bags and Tetra Pak cartons will no longer be accepted in Christchurch's kerbside recycling bin. The City Council has said it is not in a position to accept the items in the yellow bins. Click here to read more about this.

These items now have to go in the red rubbish bin, however plastic bags can be dropped off at special recycling bins at supermarkets. Visit ccc.govt.nz for a full list of what can be recycled.
