Introducing our Whangarei/Kaipara Local Distribution Committee, elected from local community organisations to make decisions on COGS grants. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou, thank you all for your work.
The 2023 COGS priorities for Whangarei/Kaipara are:
▪️ Older people and those with disabilities are connected, involved in the community and have access to the services they need.
▪️ The wellbeing and aspirations of Māori are supported and valued.
▪️ Families, children, and young people can access services increasing their physical and mental wellbeing and ability to build better futures.
▪️ All communities are enabled to celebrate their diversity, which encourages community wellbeing, resilience, and inclusiveness.
▪️ Community needs are met by organisations with a clear local footprint who are building community resilience.
▪️ Volunteers and community organisation staff are valued, resourced and well trained.
COGS (Community Organisation Grants Scheme) is open for applications, and closes on the 3rd of May 2023🙌

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
