Age Concern provides a range of human services such as information, advice, and financial hardship support, reaching over 3000 older adults on an annual basis.
“In recent times the organisation has been heavily focused on supporting the needs of seniors as they navigate the challenges of living in Bermuda during Covid times. Through Dr. Fleming’s steadfast commitment and leadership, the organisation is well placed to continue to serve the needs of the community in Bermuda.
“Dr Fleming will continue to work with the organization, Board and management team to mentor and share her experience and thought leadership, as the organisation crafts its strategic plan for the coming 3-year period.
“The Board will begin the process of selecting a permanent successor and invites candidates to apply for the role of Executive Director in due course.
