Abbeyfield Nelson Inc

supported by Volunteer Nelson

Abbeyfield is a global voluntary effort by people of goodwill to assist those older people who seek independence, safety, companionship and the avoidance of loneliness to achieve a fulfilling way of life through living at our purpose-built houses in Stoke and Tahunanui. We provide a peaceful, friendly environment to those who no longer want the responsibility and worry of maintaining their own home. Each resident has their own studio unit and come together to share meals, prepared by a housekeeper. Every Abbeyfield house is managed by volunteers who care about older people, and their contribution ensures residents' rents are affordable and residents are well supported. Volunteering opportunities include: Joining a local committee which manages the house; Assisting the maintenance; Gardening; Marketing and publicity; Fundraising; Health & Safety audits; House working bees.
