Helping seniors
Age Concern is an organisation dedicated to serving the needs of older citizens throughout New Zealand. The organisation functions through a number of district branches very similar to the Grey Power structure.
While not all Grey Power members will have had contact with Age Concern through the local branch, they may however have been aware of Age Concern involvement in a particular elder abuse case when reported in the print media or an elderly persons survey (eg, 21 per cent of NZ elderly persons are lonely).
