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...

SCAM PHONE MESSAGE

James from Rangiora

Just found a recorded message on my answering machine.

It claims to be from SPARK, saying there's a problem and they will disconnect my line within 24 hours, and that for further information I should press button 1. I'm really worried that I could be turned off even though I disconnected from SPARK about 2 years ago... NOT. The scammers are still out there! I suspect that if someone follows the instruction they will be connected to a scammer via a high cost connection, so be aware folks and ignore, do NOT follow the instructions and just delete the message. I have advised SPARK that their name is being used in this way.
