For National Volunteer Week 2026, we asked our volunteers why they choose to support Age Concern Nelson Tasman:

  • "I enjoy the company of those I work alongside with. Knowing my gifted time enables those elders who I see on a regular basis gain enjoyment from the time spent together, is what keeps me showing up each week."

    — Wendy
