E21C2 - Canterbury Eye On Communities - 2022

Page 31

South Canterbury Neighbourhood Support South Canterbury Neighbourhood Support has continued to work across the Timaru, Waimate and Mackenzie Districts with all the challenges that Covid-19 and flooding has brought. It is great to see that New Zealand has shown, once again, that we are a resilient community of five million who can work well together to keep our communities safe places to live. It’s all about looking out for one another! Our co-ordinator has continued to developed and strengthen connections and relationships with our many members, volunteers, our 340 street groups, partner organisations and funders. Despite some cancellations due to Covid 19 during the summer months, we still managed to get our promotional stand out and about to a good number of large public events to meet as many people in our communities and neighbourhoods as we could, and we are thankful to Timaru District Council and Alpine Energy for sponsoring

prizes of Grab and Go kits and First Aid kits in our popular free prize draws. The Mackenzie Highland A&P Show was a highlight where we joined the eleven support agencies and organisations who worked together to establish a ‘Community Support Village’ to share advice, information and support in a fun way to help keep our communities safe, resilient and connected. We have been successful in our fundraising efforts too and we must thank the Lotteries Community Fund, Pub Charity, COGS, Timaru District Council Civil Defence, the Aoraki Foundation, Neighbourhood Support NZ and the Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury for their generous support which has enabled us to continue to provide support, resources and information to our members and volunteers, and support to run our community driven projects. As a charity we rely on the support of our funders and partner organisations like the Police. Without their help we would not be celebrating another successful year.
