Seniors' Week

Seniors’ Week is held in spring every year and sees a series of community-led events for older people across the city.

Te Wiki Kaumātua – Seniors' Week is a series of community events and activities for our senior citizens, all about building connections and reducing social isolation in later life.

Last year there were over 60 events happening right across the city – most of which were free or discounted for SuperGold Card holders – and we want to make this year even bigger and better.

Senior Regional Games 2021

Wellington City Council is joining forces once again with Hutt City Council, Upper Hutt City Council, Age Concern and Sport Wellington to put on the Senior Regional Games.

It’s a fun competition suitable for seniors of all levels of fitness and is a great opportunity to take part in physical and social activities, meet new people and find out about what’s going on in the community.

This event is about knocking down boundaries and challenging assumptions that the older you get, the fewer opportunities to stay active there are. From badminton to bowls to dancing, there will be something for everyone. So bring your friends and whānau to celebrate together, participate in friendly competition, and try something new!

There are no restrictions on who can come; however, the event is designed to celebrate older independent adults (60 years plus) in our communities.
