Grey Power are billed as the "voice of the over 50s" and have successfully lobbied for improved driver licensing schemes for elderly people, a rates rebate scheme and improved health care. Grey Power has a large influence in New Zealand due to the significant number of people who are over 60.

 A Little History

As a voluntary organisation, Grey Power was founded in February 1986.Those involved in the early days were concerned at the imposition of the surcharge on New Zealand Superannuation.

Originally formed as the Auckland Superannuitants Association, Grey Power has since gone from strength to strength and today there are up to 65,000 financial members that belong to more than 76 Associations throughout the country. Grey Power New Plymouth is one of these Associations that make up the Grey Power Federation.

Grey Power, through the Federation is one of the very few organisations who have direct access to the Prime minister, Cabinet Ministers and in fact any members of Parliament. The Grey Power Board itself acts as an advocate on behalf of all the Associations (who represent our Members) when we approach the government.
