Check out our brand new youth-fund

The Team from Whangarei District Council

To the next generation of change-makers, dreamers and community superstars: here's your chance to get started! Would you like to do a project that helps your community and makes the world a better place? What if we provided the money and a bit of guidance? For the first time ever we've opened a new youth-fund to help people aged 12-20 run their own awesome initiatives.

👉 www.wdc.govt.nz...

Types of eligible initiatives could be workshops, events, seminars, research and surveys, awareness campaigns, community activities, resources for sectors of the community, and more. Eligible initiatives are those that address a need and provide benefit to the Whangārei community. We are unable to support initiatives that provide private benefit to a small group or to individuals. Think about an idea that benefits lots of people, or people who really need it, and apply!

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Jane Mander Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
