Applications for new arts and heritage funds opening soon

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Heads up to the Kāpiti arts and heritage community – very soon we’ll be launching two new funds to support the cultural sector. The Museums and Heritage Development Fund will have $30,000 available annually for projects showcasing Kāpiti heritage, or building capacity and capability in the heritage sector.

The Arts Sustainability Fund will have $36,000 available annually to support new arts initiatives that contribute to the cultural vibrancy of the Kāpiti Coast.

Start thinking now about any projects you might have that could be eligible for financial support! To find out more about the funds, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... and www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
