Covid 19
With the safety of our staff, members, family/whanau, visitors and the wider community in mind, Alzheimers Whanganui has cancelled all our Group outings and gatherings for the next three weeks. We have not made this decision lightly and realise this may adversely impact our carers and clients. We will be in regular contact with all of our members and ask the community to make contact with any elderly in your neighbourhood to ensure they are safe. If you have any concerns staff will still be working from our office and can be contacted on 06) 3458833 or email: admin@alzheimerswhanganui.org.nz. Let us take care of each other and stay safe

Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!

25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
