Board Thank You

Mike Riversdale • May 14, 2025

From all of us, a big THANK YOU to Stewart

Everyone who has/does work for, with, and around Age Concern Horowhenua makes a contribution that we are grateful for - to all our supporters, friends, and partners alongside our Board, staff, and volunteers we ❤️ you.


Every now and again a person joins us on our journey that makes such a big difference that we have to shout about it from the rafters. Stewart Thompson was one such person, joining the Board as Chairperson a few years ago he has made a step change in the operations of the office which now runs much more business-like with a modern set of processes and procedures enabling us to create a steadier base.


Talking of the office of course Stewart was integral, with others, to Age Concern Horowhenua moving into our amazing premises on Queen Street East (come visit) - this building is his legacy, and perhaps we should give the building a name, "The Stewart Thompson Building".


At a wee thank you pot-luck we had for Stewart (photos below) the following words were used about him:

  • Impressive
  • Dedicated
  • Inspiration
  • Wanderer
  • Exciting
  • Approachable
  • Visionary
  • Trust
  • Run like a business / structured


THANK YOU STEWART FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE and, finally, enjoy your retirement :)

(and also a massive thank you to Sue, Stewart's partner, for giving him the time and support that we benefited from).
