Opportunities in Retirement

Acacia Cove

Being retired may mean you have more time to do the things you've always wanted to do. Or you might want to look for new ideas to do things you never knew you'd enjoy. In any case, there's a range of opportunities you can enjoy in retirement.

Guide to Volunteering
Organizations recognise that older people bring a wealth of skills and expertise to volunteering. By passing on your skills and learning you can make a difference to people’s lives. Volunteering is also a good way to make new friends and improve general levels of health and fitness.

Become a coach or mentor
Older people's skills and experiences are highly valued in communities. You can put your work experience to good use by becoming a mentor or coach. In return you can develop your own interpersonal skills and remain active and involved in your community.

If you’re aged 60 and over, value your independence but want greater security, come and have a look at the superb properties we have to offer

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
