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.

If you have an age-friendly project you are interested in getting funding for click here bit.ly...
Or if would like to learn more about how your community can become more age-friendly click here bit.ly...

Is this your cat????

Claire from Mayfair

Does anyone in the Charlotte Cres/ Caroline Rd area recognise this cat? It has been attacking our cats badly and has now decided it will venture into our house at night via cat door. We were woken in the early hrs to a terrified child as the cat was in her room growling.

Hastings District Council has agreed to put an extra $5.5m towards redeveloping the city’s historic Municipal Building.

The building and the neighbouring Hastings Opera House were closed in 2014 after they were found to be earthquake-prone.

The opera house has since been strengthened and was re-opened in February. The Municipal Building is presently being strengthened and this is expected to be completed by April next year. Together the buildings will form the new ‘Toitoi – Hawke's Bay Arts and Events Centre’
