Community Connects grants

Office for Seniors

Hi Neighbours!

Have you heard about our Community Connects grants?

The grants help fund projects that promote the inclusion and contribution of older people in community life, and support communities to prepare for an ageing population.

The fund makes one-off grants of up to $15,000. The grants are open to any New Zealand council, community organisation, or registered non-profit organisation. Applications for our current funding round close on 9 October.

Our last funding round was a huge success and helped fund a range of different projects across the country, that had focuses like reducing loneliness and social isolation of older people, developing an age-friendly community plan and supporting people with dementia.

With the right planning and support, we can create environments where older people are valued, connected and able to participate in their community.

If you have an age-friendly project you are interested in getting funding for click here bit.ly...
Or if would like to learn more about how your community can become more age-friendly click here bit.ly...

Xmas Lillies

Peter from Northwood

Hi! Thank you to everyone who has come by and bought Xmas Lillies from us for 2025 and early 2026. If you are still enjoying the smell these Regal Lillies leave in your home, I still have a few more left so if you want the smell in your home a little longer just come by - for 50 cents a bud you can enjoy the smell of Xmas and New Year a little longer. 24 Springwater Ave Northwood. Regards Teresa and Pete
