💥It's Flashback Friday💥
In April 2019, Stage 3 of the Pod opened and we had 2 amazing new rooms for our community to use to come together and connect with others. Our Patron Whaea Peggy Peek blessed the building before His Worship Mayor Tim Shadbolt opened it and the community came together to see this new space. Our Fruit and Nut team also planted a tree in our community park to commemorate the opening.
Since then we have had so many different people, community groups, and businesses utilise this great space, from our weekly groups like the Knitwitz and Friendship group, to the one off birthday parties, events, and business meetings.

💥It's Flashback Friday💥
As National Volunteer Week comes to an end, we thought our Friday Flashback should reflect on the awesome recognition our volunteers have had over the last 10 years.
In 2016 South Alive was a top 3 finalist for Mitre 10 New Zealand Community of the Year.
In 2017 South Alive was the Trustpower Community Awards Supreme Winner for Invercargill/Southland and runner up at the National Awards in 2018.
And most recently South Alive was named a finalist in the Not for Profit category of the Southland Business Excellence Awards 2021
So to our volunteers we say THANKS!
These awards are recognition of you and the incredible mahi that you have (and continue to) put into making South Invercargill a place that makes us proud and inspires us all.

National Volunteer Week is celebrated from 19-25 June 2022 and the theme this year is
‘Time to reflect, dream and shine’.
Celebrating South Alive’s 10th birthday, this is such a relevant theme for us, as we reflect on what has been achieved by all our volunteers over that time. We want to celebrate and shine a light on all of our volunteers and the impact you have all made.
Each year our volunteers contribute thousands of hours to making South Invercargill a place we are proud of.
To all of our volunteers we say a massive THANK YOU!
Whether you have contributed for a short or a long time, helped regularly or just once, every single contribution has made a difference and South Alive just wouldn’t exist without all of you.

💥It's Flashback Friday💥
This week we are going all the way back to March 2015 when we announced that the winner of the South Invercargill National Sculpture Competition was ...
‘Tale of Southland - Murihiku’ by David Trubridge.
The artist described the design as “a rich connection to the land and sea and flourishing coexistence of cultures. The geometric patterning of nature provides the blueprint for strength and growth and the tail flick of a great whale propels a forward momentum.”
The winning design was selected by an expert panel from 37 nationwide entries and 1 international entry.
From concept, to install, to the grand opening, this was a massive project and milestone in the revitalisation of South Invercargill!

We are on the lookout for a Rangatahi Projects Co-ordinator to join our team!
This role will involve creating opportunities with rangatahi/youth in South Invercargill around transport, technology, employment opportunities, and events.
This is a part-time (5-10 hrs), fixed-term role through to May 2023 and would suit someone with good first hand knowledge of South Invercargill.
