Kāpiti Coast Older Persons' Council

The Kāpiti Coast Older Persons' Council (formerly the Council of Elders) was established in 2008 as a voice for older people in our community.

The Older Persons Council is committed to working with the Kāpiti Coast District Council and the wider community to ensure the Kāpiti Coast becomes an age-friendly district.

Celebrating Mother's Day

Theme: My Mother's apron, Stories from the kitchen table.

The Kāpiti Coast Older Persons’ Council put together an exhibition to acknowledge Mother’s Day, a follow on from our exhibition honouring and celebrating older people on the Kāpiti Coast.

We asked the people of Kāpiti to write a short story, poem, or letter to Mums, or share a memory of her signature dish, recipe, or family mealtime experience, and to send us with a picture. All entries were displayed in Paraparaumu Library and Coastlands for the community to enjoy.

All entries went into the draw to win one of two hampers. The winners of the Hampers were Danelle Stella and Grace Terry.

You can watch the heartwarming stories and recipe videos and read the touching submissions below:
