FREE Cooking Classes for Seniors

Sally from The Brook

Have you lost your motivation to cook meals for yourself ?
Do you sometimes skip meals ?
Do you sometimes think you need more skills to cook better meals ?
Have you lost your confidence in the kitchen since the family left home?


If you answered YES to all of those questions these classes might just what you need !!!
* Every Tuesday morning 10.30 - 1.30pm
* Victory Community Centre


Learn about nutrition, eg meal planning, stretching your budget, cookery terms, portion control, deciphering food labels, tips to increase motivation and more.


We do the theory in the first hour, followed by a demonstration of how to make a meal, then you make that meal and when it's ready we sit down together and eat, clean up and go home.
You may possibly meet people you would like to stay in touch with, it's more fun eating with others than by yourself.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Earth Emotions Silent Auction

Krisca Gould from Nelson Tasman Hospice

Monday 16th February - Monday 2nd March

Bid on a special collection of 20 unframed prints by local photographers from an exhibition called Earth Emotions.

Glenn Allbrecht's book, Earth Emotions, inspired Ann Wheatley, Emma Jane Hughes and Peter Kemp to create a local exhibition exploring the health of our soils, waters, forests, and people, with support from the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and the Nelson City Council.

Forty-seven photographers responded to an open call, contributing over 100 images. A selection of these was exhibited at the Refinery Art Space.

The photographers have donated 20 exhibition prints to raise funds for the hospice.
