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...

Labour is promising an end to expensive fees for things like paywave and card transactions.

The party wants to regulate Merchant Service Fees (MSF), which are high in New Zealand compared to other countries such as Australia.

These are fees charged by banks for services including card transactions and paywave, and force retailers to either absorb the hefty cost themselves, or pass it on to consumers.

Kia ora neighbours,

We are needing to move from our house in Stanmore Bay by the 9th of October to allow the owners to sell the property untenanted. We are locals looking for somewhere tidy for myself, my 13 year old and our two well-behaved cats. 2-3 bedrooms would be ideal and I can pay up to $550 per week. My parents live in Orewa and my son attends Orewa College. I work in Albany so it would be great to find somewhere close to school/parents for my son to be able to get to and fro easily. We have great references, keep a tidy home and are interested in a long term tenancy. Pretty much my only ask is that the house gets some sunshine :) If you or someone you know are able to help us, we'd be so grateful! Thank you! Ngā mihi, Chloe 0211787361
