Hokonui Hauora Fund

One of the clear messages emerging from our consultation with community is that people are feeling the stresses of the last few years. Increases to the cost of living, the long-term impact of a global pandemic, and ongoing pressures being felt by the primary industry have had a direct and adverse impact on people in our community. It has also meant our whānau, friends and wider community have missed out on maintaining strong connections and shared experiences. Community resources and services have suffered as a consequence.

We want to help.

The Hokonui Locality has created a new fund to support community led activities and events in the wider Gore District. Groups can apply for up to $1,000 for events and activities that encourage people to come together. This fund is about enabling our communities to help feel connected, be more resilient and work towards a happier, healthier Hokonui.
