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!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
