Age Concern Dignity Champion
Have you signed up as an Age Concern Dignity Champion? Our Dignity Champions stand up with us to help change attitudes and behaviours that devalue older people. Older people are not 'burdens'. Older adults bring a wealth of knowledge, skills and talents to society. By becoming an Age Concern Dignity Champion you pledge to treat every older person with respect and dignity- it's that easy. Let's combat ageism in New Zealand. Details on how to sign up are on our website. bit.ly...
