Nelson Connects is a programme that focuses on people 55 years and over – those that are a decade away from retirement and those who are well into retirement already.

The Nelson Tasman region has a number of attractions that draws people to live here and many people 55+ in age choose to relocate to the region. In fact the Nelson Tasman region has the fastest growth rate of people over the age of sixty. They are often retired or moving towards retirement. This is a great time to become involved in volunteering. Community organisations are highly dependent on the contribution of volunteers to deliver services. Participation in volunteering activities has been shown to be beneficial to the mental and physical health of the volunteer and contributes to an overall sense of wellbeing.
