We couldn’t do this without the help of many generous and kind people and organisations. One of these organisations is Project Village (Lagi Finau), who made up some amazing gift packs for lonely and isolated seniors in time for Christmas.

So, on the last working day in December, our CEO Stephen Opie and Social Connection Coordinator Kirsten Blyde spent the day delivering the gift packs all over town. “It was great to spread a little Christmas cheer a couple of days before Christmas. Some even said that this was probably the only gift they would receive,” Stephen said.

Thank you Project Village for caring for our Region’s seniors!

I have not seen a postman in our street since early December. Well today 11th January we got 10 Christmas cards and plus some letters this isn’t good enough. Letters had a post stamp 6 December on them. Plus we sent a parcel down to Wanaka on 10th December and our son didn’t get it till till early January. We also sent 2 cards to Melbourne on the 8th December and my daughter just got them yesterday. Also sent one to Perth and they received it just before new year’s. Looks like sending cards for Christmas is finished now, plus it not cheap to send any mail these days.

Ryman’s Peace of Mind Guarantees are designed with your protection in mind, giving you the confidence to live the way you want and to embrace every opportunity.

Take Ross for example. He’s a Ryman resident who began his musical journey at the age of 65. His ‘no worries’ lifestyle has meant that ten years later, Ross plays in several bands and tours in different towns playing music on a guitar he made himself. A little certainty provides great reassurance in knowing you can pursue the things you love in retirement, without any worries.
