World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Age Concern Horowhenua held awareness stall in Mall
This was my first year as part of the Elder Abuse team at Age Concern Horowhenua to raise awareness in our community about Elder Abuse.
Our Elder Abuse team were grateful to have an awesome table set up for us at the local mall and all the local businesses that supported our awareness day by gifting donations towards raffle baskets and The Sponge Kitchen, who donated delicious cupcakes on the day to help raise funds for Elder Abuse.
What a positive day! I was joined by the whole Age Concern Horowhenua team and Board, to help raise awareness in our community, giving out over 250 ribbons! It was great getting to meet so many locals and having impactful conversations.
The lovely mall shop owners supported our team with coffee, stopping by to say hi, and buying lots of raffle’s tickets. Many people gave generously on the day, and we were able to raise a lot of funds to go towards Elder Abuse.
We would like to thank all our generous sponsors: Super Minx, Levin New World, The Sock Factory, Photo & Framed, Woodley’s Coffee, Kapinua, Levin Jewellery, Sports World Levin, Clarks Clothing, Horowhenua District Council, The Health Hub, Levin Mall Pharmacy, Leader & Watt Levin.
