Age Concern Nelson Tasman holds hui on social connection. Did you attend?
Age Concern Nelson Tasman hopes a hui held this morning will help it find new ways to tackle loneliness and social isolation that affect some older people in the region.
Age Concern Nelson Tasman Manager, Caroline Budge, says "we have worked really hard these past few years to keep older people connected to their communities".
She hoped the hui would help kick start a new phase of social connection initiatives.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
