Introducing our Whangarei/Kaipara Local Distribution Committee, elected from local community organisations to make decisions on COGS grants. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou, thank you all for your work.
The 2023 COGS priorities for Whangarei/Kaipara are:
▪️ Older people and those with disabilities are connected, involved in the community and have access to the services they need.
▪️ The wellbeing and aspirations of Māori are supported and valued.
▪️ Families, children, and young people can access services increasing their physical and mental wellbeing and ability to build better futures.
▪️ All communities are enabled to celebrate their diversity, which encourages community wellbeing, resilience, and inclusiveness.
▪️ Community needs are met by organisations with a clear local footprint who are building community resilience.
▪️ Volunteers and community organisation staff are valued, resourced and well trained.
COGS (Community Organisation Grants Scheme) is open for applications, and closes on the 3rd of May 2023🙌
COGS grants support voluntary and not-for-profit organisations working in local communities and neighbourhoods.
