Introducing our AMI Community Grant Finalists
This is day number seven of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.
Kidz need Dadz NZ
Our services provide a range of programmes for all Dads, and a weekly support group. Our programmes are Dad focused, being a new parent, parenting with teens, understanding relationships. Any funds raised are used to support Dads in these areas as well as provide for community events that we run through the year. VOTE NOW!
Free For All
Free For All is a community focused initiative that promotes the sharing of resources by saving usable items from the landfill and then giving the items away free of any cost or conditions. We have recently opened a free, appointment based, op shop where the community can come shopping for needs and wants with no questions or judgements. We need help with day to day running costs; rent, power, petrol and advertising, to help make the community aware of what is available to them. VOTE NOW!
Have your shopping habits changed?
Nelson retailers say sales have hit a worrying low, prompting them to cut staff numbers and tighten their belts. A street stall vendor told council that as well as the cost of living crisis, shopping patterns had changed, with more people making purchases online from places like Temu. Do you still head into town to buy essentials? Or are you hitting the internet?
Best medical alarms
Do you feel less steady on your feet than you used to be, or perhaps have already experienced a fall or seizure? If so, a medical alarm can help you regain your independence and confidence.
If you have a medical emergency or fall, just press the button on your personal medical alarm and speak to an operator through the built-in speaker. If you can’t speak, an ambulance will be dispatched immediately.
There are a number of different medical alarm options available in New Zealand, so you will be able to find one that suits your needs.

Update your Covid protection
It might not be making quite so many headlines these days, but unfortunately, Covid is still here. If you’re 65 or over, taking care of yourself is just as important as ever.
The good news is, keeping up to date with the Covid vaccine can help protect you from serious illness. It’s free and recommended for you and many others as long as you haven’t had the vaccine, or Covid, in the last 6 months.
To book your vaccination, go to BookMyVaccine.nz or talk to your healthcare provider.
