Community Connects grants
Hi Neighbours!
Have you heard about our Community Connects grants?
The grants help fund projects that promote the inclusion and contribution of older people in community life, and support communities to prepare for an ageing population.
The fund makes one-off grants of up to $15,000. The grants are open to any New Zealand council, community organisation, or registered non-profit organisation. Applications for our current funding round close on 9 October.
Our last funding round was a huge success and helped fund a range of different projects across the country, that had focuses like reducing loneliness and social isolation of older people, developing an age-friendly community plan and supporting people with dementia.
With the right planning and support, we can create environments where older people are valued, connected and able to participate in their community.

Discipleship and Leadership within our Community of Today's Society
Tēnā koe (Hi) Neighbours,
I trust that this finds you well.
I would like to share a collection of articles, which I have written that engage with Christian discipleship and our calling to live faithfully before the true Triune God. These are offered simply as invitations to prayerful consideration, with the hope that they may encourage deeper attentiveness to Christ’s righteousness and a renewed commitment to showing compassion, sympathy, and empathy toward others, particularly those who have experienced seasons of hardship.
I would like to encourage you to explore the articles at the links below:

For any of you that is unfamiliar with Substack, it is a free platform that allows Christians to read and share faith-based writing, encourage one another in spiritual formation, and bear faithful witness through words shaped by grace and humility.
On a final note, here is a link to my sister’s medical research regarding people with neurodivergence: www.liebertpub.com....
Let us, as part of the Body of Christ and as a local community, seek to grow as an inter-generational and generationally diverse community, to repent of past actions that have caused hurt to others, and to let go of what divides us, so that we may live together in harmony and unity.
Thank - you.
Atua (God) Bless.
URGENT - Roaming Cat Disturbing our Rest During Silent Hours !
Tēnā koe (Hi) Neighbours,
First and foremost, I wish to bring to your attention an ongoing concern regarding the repeated presence of roaming cats within our property boundary during both daytime and nighttime hours. Previously, one cat had been entering our property in this manner; however, more recently, a second cat has also begun accessing our backyard and roof area.
On one occasion, late at night or in the early hours of the morning, I was unable to sleep due to persistent noise on our roof, which clearly appeared to be caused by the cat. On another evening, while having dinner, I directly observed the cat entering our backyard, climbing onto our veranda, and subsequently moving onto the roof.
Notwithstanding this, members of our household experience asthma, eczema, and allergy-related sensitivities, and the continued presence of roaming animals within our immediate living environment is adversely affecting our health and well-being, thereby creating unnecessary disturbance and avoidable risk within our residential space.
I therefore respectfully request that appropriate steps be taken to ensure pets are properly supervised and prevented from entering neighbouring properties.
Thank - you.
