🥦 Super Connect Kai for Seniors

Super Connect is a wrap around service INCLUDING FREE FOOD SUPPORT and is for those who live in Hamilton, aged 65 or over and are finding things a bit tough at the moment. The initiative has been such a huge success that demand has far exceeded expectations. Because so many people have signed up, the team is now offering only the fortnightly option - that’s 8 food packages over 16 weeks. Unfortunately, the weekly (8-week) option has had to be dropped for now, as the service is so over-subscribed - for every two people who ask to join, they can currently only support one. It’s a real testament to how valued and needed this service is in our community.

Referrals can be made at heretohelpu.nz or phone 0800 568 273 Heretohelpunz

📣 Your rights, your records: visit konae.org.nz 📲 If government, faith-based or other organisations have ever been involved in decisions about your guardianship or care, and you would like your records from those times, Kōnae: My Records Guide is a website that can help.

Kōnae has a map of places people may have stayed and details of the record holders for those sites. It has an easy-to-use online form for contacting record holders and requesting records, and suggestions for support during the process.

Kōnae was created in response to a recommendation from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care and was developed by Citizens Advice Bureau alongside survivors and people with lived experience. It is independent of the Government.
