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...

Richard and Jenny Adams live in Nelson's city centre and they love it, but it's not for everyone - some prefer a lifestyle block in the country. What are you thoughts on city living and where would you choose to live if money was no object?
There's no symptom too small to warrant getting a covid-19 test according to a Nelson doctor. Would a sore throat get you down to the CBAC or a cough, calling your GP for an appointment?
