Newsletter Survey
This year whilst we are celebrating our 75th Anniversary and reflecting back over the decades
from the 1940’s, we are also considering our strategic path forward. A key question in our considerations looking forward is to
consider the changing face and increasing opportunities on how we can communicate with our key stakeholders such as our clients;
donors; staff members; supporters and volunteers.We hope you will visit our survey by clicking on the QR code below and spend five-minutes
considering and responding because, looking forward, we want to ensure our key stakeholders are well-informed and older Aucklanders
understand how we can best support them.

Celebrating Desley: A Beacon of Compassion and Connection
When celebrating our 75th Anniversary of service to and with older Aucklander's on
01 October this year we will be recognising the work of some truly remarkable people, the first of whom is Desley Tobin.
In a world where connections often feel fleeting and digital interactions replace face-to-face conversations, compassionate people like
Desley remind us of the profound impact of genuine human contact.
Desley has visited marginalised and lonely older Aucklander's and connected with them by telephone too, doing both on a weekly basis,
through the Age Concern Auckland Social Connections Programme for an incredible 17-years.
This is a genuinely remarkable story because, from the outset, Desley's approach to volunteering has been marked by empathy, humility, and a profound respect for the stories and experiences of those she visits. She doesn't just listen; she absorbs, she learns, and she connects.
Whether it's sharing tales of growing up in the same neighborhood or discussing current events, Desley's visits transcend mere social
calls; they become moments of genuine connection and understanding.
We hope you can join with us in congratulating Desley and giving her some well-earned public recognition for this amazing
accomplishment.
