Anglican Elder Care
Diocese of Christchurch
Timaru
at St John's Church Highfield
For over 65s who may be living alone or have limited opportunity to get out and about, Elder Care Groups provide companionship, fun, advice and support. Hosted by the Anglican parishes of St Mary's Timaru, St Johns Highfield and Marchwiel the Timaru Group meets at St John's Church. It is run in partnership with the Anglican Elder Care Project and the Group offers a varied programme of activities, afternoon tea and transport all at a minimal cost per guest. On occasion, we organise outings and excursions too.
