Age-friendly Business Awards
Age Concern North Shore is committed to encouraging businesses/organisations to strive to provide respectful, positive and easy to navigate experiences and services to older people. As part of this, we are inviting older people from the North Shore community to nominate a business for a 2017 Age-friendly Business Award.
To be nominated for an award, the business may demonstrate some of the following:
• Be accessible for people of different physical abilities eg walker access
• Be respectful of your needs eg provides extra help if required
• Avoids a patronising manner
• Has clear communication eg easy to read signage and written material
Nominations can only be submitted by those aged 65 years or older and who reside on Auckland’s North Shore; all nominations will go into a draw to win a $50.00 supermarket voucher.
