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.
Do you fancy year-round summer hours?
The European Union will soon recommend members drop daylight saving hours in favour of staying on summer time throughout the year.
Would you like the same for Aotearoa? Let us know!

I've had trouble with people giving me quotes then trying to charge more after or during the work, and it's unsettling. If you can turn your hand to just about anything, you'd be ideal. Examples: knocking up a potting bench; fixing an exterior window sill that has dry rot, making a rustic gate with recycled wood. I could easily hire someone for a half day once a week for 4-6 weeks. Please let me know if this is in your skill set. I'm in Featherston.
Looking for ideas to amuse the kids this school holidays, drop into the i-SITE's and pick up a copy of our school holiday activity sheet, there's heaps of fun things to choose from.

I've just bought a shed from Kiwi Garden Sheds and need it put up. It will need a concrete base. 3.00 x 2.8m
Is there anyone who might be able to do this, for a reasonable cost please - nicely please. I'm in Featherston.
Many thanks.
