Stuff Ltd's recent support for Age Concern Wellington Region's Christmas appeal has been invaluable:

"Age Concern also experienced a burst of new interest and donations after we wrote about Rick Johnston and Denis White, who have been buddied up through Age Concern's visiting service. Johnston takes 82-year-old White out to lunch or to Mitre 10, or works in his backyard.
'But the best outcome has been the 35 volunteers signing up to help deliver social connection services to older people in our communities,” said Stephen Opie, chief executive of Age Concern Wellington. “We’re always needing more volunteers, so this has been a great response for us.'"

The AEA web event is a free monthly online meeting using Zoom video conferencing software. With three 10 minute speakers and member sharing. Participants can join the web event from their phone, desktop, mobile and tablet devices. ALL WELCOME
The purpose of the web events is to carry the message to newcomers who live in areas where there are no AEA meetings and to strengthen areas where there are sole AEA members. These events are not designed to replace face-to-face meetings. Rather, we hope that face-to-face meetings will grow and increase as a result of having regular web events.
