Patron's Award winners
Category winners will be determined by Age Concern Board, staff and invited guests voting on the shortlisted entries at an award ceremony held in Wellington on 30 September, as part of International Day of Older Persons celebrations.
The Age Concern Patron’s Award was established in 2009 as a way to challenge ageist attitudes and stereotypes about growing older.
