Sunday, 17th September, 10am to 11.30 am at Riverside Community in Lower Moutere.

This Mozzarella Making Workshop is for cheesy kids! Led by Tanja and Faline, this hands-on exploration will usher kids - aged 8 and above - into the whey-splashed world of homemade cheese. They'll discover the "messy" fun of crafting mozzarella using cow's milk.

Kids will work cooperatively, taking home not just their own round of pizza-ready mozzarella, but a valuable recipe for future cooking escapades.

Safety is a priority! Ensure your child brings a pair of new, well-fitted kitchen gloves as they'll be handling hot water.

Limited to 12 children. $8 per child. Bookings essential: www.riverside.org.nz...

This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja (at education@riverside.org.nz) for workshop questions or to ask about sponsorship options.

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
