Recent news that Age Concern Tauranga is desperate for more funding as it struggles to meet a demand from lonely elderly folks for its visiting service concerns me.
The Care & Craft Centres of New Zealand Trust, has five centres in the Western Bay of Plenty, at Otumoetai, Brookfield, Greerton, Arataki and Katikati.We all meet weekly during school terms.Various crafts, activities, fun days and entertainments are carried out.
Some of our visitors can no longer do craft work but enjoy the company. New guests and helpers are always wecome too.
Next year, the trust is celebrating 40 years of activity with a conference to be held in Tauranga. Come join us.
