FREE Cooking Classes for Seniors

Sally from The Brook

A block of 4 weekly classes starting on Monday July 26th to Aug 16th, 10am - 1pm. Held in Richmond this time around. If you're interested and would prefer a Nelson venue please apply anyway.


Each class is 3 hours long and covers nutrition, meal planning, understanding food labels, stretching the budget, portion control and more. Class size is limited to 12 and we are already half-way there. During the class there is a demo from tutor, then 'students' prepare a couple of recipes from the 50-page book that you can take away. We then sit down and enjoy lunch together.


It gets you out of the house, meet new people, learn something useful and bolster your confidence and your motivation.

Your tutor is a trained chef, high school technology teacher and is passionate about helping people to make better decisions around food.

Programme outline is attached.

Bookings open now.
Please apply to sallyrees02@gmail.com or Ph: 0211.709.443

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?
