Tired of Cooking for One?

If you'd rather have a trained and experienced chef do your cooking for you, we may have the solution. 'Executive Chef' is a leader in the provision of chilled fresh and frozen meals. You can enjoy a tasty meal at your place without effort. Wholesome, home-cooked, snap-frozen meals; just heat and eat in minutes.

Great menu options with roasts, casseroles, past and curries available, pork, chicken, beef, lamb, ham .... Oh! the choices are amazing. And for those with special dietary needs, there are gluten-free and vegetarian meals on offer as well. The meals come in three different sizes, so there's something for every appetite.

Life Stories Booklet

Memory is a way of holding on to the things we loved,
the things we never want to lose.

We can underestimate the interest our life stories hold for family members, friends, children and grandchildren.

The accumulated experiences of a lifetime all add up to making us who we are today and what our life means to us personally. What has been the meaning of our individual and unique life on this plant? To find out, start writing down the facts and stories of your life.

Age Concern Manawatu has put together a booklet which serves as a template. At $20 each they provide an easy to follow layout to assemble your memories.

If you don't happen to have children or grandchildren to pass this on to, do it for yourself, or with a friend. These stories are always valuable to your community and for researchers looking back at an earlier time. Think about gifting your story to your local library, university, council, school or Age Concern, if you do not have any family members to give them to.

Life Tubes can be Life Savers ….

Let us introduce you to Life Tubes - a plastic cylinder that contains a sheet with your vital health information. This tube is kept in a prominent, easily identifiable and accessible place, such as your refrigerator or the glove box of your car.

In the event of an emergency, the police, ambulance, fire service, friend or neighbour, will be alerted by the bright red sticker on the fridge or glove box door advising that vital information is contained within the life tube.

Both the New Zealand Police and St John’s Ambulance Service endorse and promote the Life Tube as a simple life support system, one that could save your life.

A Life Tube will only cost you $5.00, and that’s pretty good for a potential life saver.

To order your Life Tube, contact Age Concern Manawatu Inc by phoning (06) 355 2832, or emailing them at The Office.
