About Age Concern (Horowhenua) Inc
Age Concern has been a presence in Horowhenua for nearly 20 years!
The concept of the Age Concern organisation emerged from a realisation that the growing proportion of elderly persons in our District needed a more specifically aligned social and welfare advocacy. Initially this need in our area was serviced from Palmerston North Age Concern, but the growing needs of Horowhenua became too time-consuming for Palmerston based case-workers.
At a Public Meeting held in Levin in 2001, it was decided to form an Elder Abuse and Welfare co-ordination Society. These early advocates were greatly assisted by the MP Darren Hughes. Later it was realised that Affiliation with Age Concern NZ was the best option for the Society and a Constitution for Age Concern Horowhenua was drawn up - primarily by Ewen Paynter. As he also worked for Muaupoko Tribal Authority the first ACH office was located in the Authority building in Oxford Street.
Later, under the Chairmanship of the late Graham Smellie, the office moved to rooms at Tararua Medical and in late2020 the office was moved to Durham Street, to be more central and accessible to those who use our services.
