The Young at Heart Festival, 1- 8 October, is a week of community-led events that celebrates our older community – parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours – who do so much for the city.


The festival wraps around the official International Day of Older Persons on Wednesday, 1 October 2025.


From fitness classes to workshops, the festival includes great events to get involved with, social events to make new friends and opportunities to share skills with the next generation.

Many of the activities offer a free taster just for the festival and are regularly running throughout the year. You never know, you might discover a new activity you absolutely love.

The Young at Heart Festival programme will soon be available to download here, or to pick up from any of our Te Ao Mārama City Libraries.

When things get overwhelming, what do you do to reset?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It’s been a little full-on at the office lately, and the Neighbourly team found ourselves chatting about something we all experience: stress.

It’s been a little full-on at the office lately, and the Neighbourly team found ourselves chatting about something we all experience: stress.

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!

But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...

We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?

Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.

My husband has a CPAP unit and wears a CPAP mask for Sleep Apnea, and his mask has broken. Does anyone have a mask they now don't use which we could get ?. It is an older mask – a Fisher and Paykel Healthcare Flexifit 431 ( the number is IMPORTANT) with black headpiece bands. New ones DO NOT suit for his sore head, if anyone has a MASK they no longer need – that would be MAGIC please. Bev on 0274756029.

My day

Yesterday was my special day, and I tried to be happy, but life had different plans.

I had an accident, my only car was damaged, I have no job, and I feel alone.

Yesterday was my special day, and I tried to be happy, but life had different plans.

I had an accident, my only car was damaged, I have no job, and I feel alone.

Usually, I try to stay positive, but life hit me harder this time and blocked all opportunities. Still, I’m hoping things will get better, and I’ll make sure to smile and find little moments of happiness.
