Advocacy for our older community

Grey Power is an advocacy organisation with a vision for New Zealand to be a country where seniors live in dignity enjoying a rewarding, safe and sustainable quality of life.


We work tirelessly to raise awareness of the issues facing older adults and to advocate for policies and practices that meet their needs.

Whether you are an older adult yourself, a caregiver, or a relative we invite you to join us in our mission to create a more age-inclusive society.
