Age Concern Tauranga
What a Community Group Fund is
A Community Group Fund with Acorn Foundation offers a long-term way to support a local charity consistently. When you contribute, your gift is pooled and invested, and the returns are distributed annually to the charity while the original capital remains intact. This means the charity benefits year after year, not just once.
For Age Concern Tauranga, this support means they can plan ahead with confidence. It allows them to expand their services, strengthen their organisation and employ dedicated staff to make a lasting impact. A gift to their Community Group Fund not only helps now, it secures the future of their important work.
About the Charity
Age Concern Tauranga is a registered charity focused on people aged 65 and over, their whānau and carers. They offer a strong range of services designed to promote dignity, wellbeing, connection and independence within the older community in and around Tauranga.
Some of the key services include:
-
Advice and support on a wide variety of issues, with referrals to other appropriate services when needed.
-
Social activities and opportunities for older people to build friendships and feel connected—because staying socially active is a vital part of wellbeing.
-
A Visiting Service that pairs volunteers with older people who may feel isolated or lonely, helping them engage with the community.
-
A targeted exercise and falls-prevention programme (“Steady as You Go”) that supports older people to maintain balance, strength and fitness so they can stay mobile and safe.
-
Workshops and education sessions on health management, digital skills, transport options (like the Total Mobility Taxi Scheme) and more.
By supporting Age Concern Tauranga, you are helping to create a community where older people feel valued, supported and connected.
