Communicare is a not-for-profit association that has been serving the seniors, isolated, lonely and disabled in Auckland since 1959. We run Friendship Centres around Auckland, serving more than 500 members weekly with the assistance of over 250 volunteers and a small team of part-time staff. By creating a welcoming environment for people of various backgrounds, ages, and abilities, Communicare not only addresses the needs of seniors, lonely individuals, and the disabled but also contributes to building a more interconnected and supportive community. This inclusivity can lead to a broader exchange of experiences, perspectives, and insights, creating a vibrant and dynamic community.
