Description
Community Link is the Upper Clutha's one-stop community support and connection centre, supporting our growing community across the full wellbeing spectrum. We work to provide information and support; connect and collaborate; and build a resilient community through development projects and cross-sector collaboration.
• We are a Heartlands Service centre, providing a gateway for the community to access free information and support from government agencies like MSD, WINZ, IRD; financial advisors; legal aid; and social work services.
• We coordinate community services like the Community Foodbank; JP services; Total Mobility Vouchers; Meals on Wheels and Wheels to Dunstan, our community bus service connecting locals to Dunstan and Dunedin hospitals.
• We offer financial assistance for one-off household costs through our Community Support Fund.
• We work alongside local social service providers and the community to identify and address gaps in provision; develop and support projects to meet community needs; and support community groups with advice and funding.
