The aim of our Seniors Community Workers is to facilitate access to the support you may need to help you live independently in the community. This is generally a service for over 65’s.
Our Seniors Community Workers can:
- Explore with you, what your needs are and provide recommendations accordingly.
- Provide information on community services available and special interest groups.
- Make referrals where appropriate.
- Liaise with church leaders to meet spiritual needs (e.g. home communion).
This is a free service, enabled by the generous support of The Selwyn Foundation and The Minchin Trust.
Our Seniors Community Workers also run the following courses:
- Senior Tech
- Recording Memories
- Fun With Paint
Contact the Centre to find out about upcoming dates for these courses.

Whangarei
Whangarei has been my home for over 30 years and I have been a Seniors Community Worker since 2013. I have over 25 years of experience caring for seniors. Some of that experience includes caring for an in-home dialysis client. This places me in a unique position of understanding, both from the client's perspective as well as considering the carer's well-being.

I joined the Anglican Care Centre in 2021 and am enjoying working with the seniors in our community.
