Every week the Age Concern Wellington team meet isolated and lonely seniors who have no family and no one to talk to.

We all need support sometimes.

At Age Concern we support lonely and isolated seniors in our city but we urgently need your help to keep our services going.

Please donate now to our annual appeal so we can help more seniors.

Join Aotearoa New Zealand Poet Laureate Chris Tse at the National Library to mark the end of his time in the role with his reflections on the future of Aotearoa New Zealand poetry. Chris will be joined by poets Ken Arkind, Cadence Chung, Gregory O'Brien, Chris Price, and Ruby Solly.

Chris Tse’s three-year term as Aotearoa New Zealand Poet Laureate ends on Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day, when the next Poet Laureate will be announced.

Join Arts Access Aotearoa for a powerful evening of film and purpose as we screen the critically acclaimed movie Sing Sing, based on a true story of redemption, creativity and the transformative power of the arts within the prison system.

🗓️ Date: Thursday 21 August

📍 Venue: Lighthouse Cinema Cuba

⏰ Time: 6.00pm

🎟️ Tickets: $25.00

Sing Sing tells the story of incarcerated men who find hope and humanity through a prison theatre programme. It reflects the values Arts Access Aotearoa upholds: that the arts can break down walls, build confidence and create change, inside and out.

Come along and support us to continue this important work.
