Distinguished Service
Established in 1994, Shanti Niwas has several achievements to its credit, the most significant of which is the comfort and care that it offers to the senior members of the society. Men and women, who often feel the pinch of solitude and sometime neglect, find this organisation a good avenue to meet, read, engage in conversation and play meaningful games.
The Trust delivers positive ageing programmes thrice a week for lonely and isolated older people and once a week for people with disabilities.
It also provides Elder Abuse Prevention Service, Counselling, Advocacy and Translation; and helps in accessing any age-related services and help elders to integrate into the New Zealand society for the betterment of the quality of life of seniors and their families.
The Trust is located at 14 Spring Street (Next to Dolphin Theatre) in Onehunga, Auckland. Further details can be obtained on (09) 6221010 Email: shantiniwas@xtra.co.nz
