Parts of our rural community are being offered help with their hearing health thanks to one of our Community Grants.
Every year our Community Grants scheme helps some of our most valuable community projects get off the ground or expand further. Thanks to a grant of $1,494, Hearing Nelson has been able to reach out and offer assistance to some of our rural Tasman communities.
Hearing Nelson’s next free community clinic is in Murchison for hearing aid users. The clinic in Murchison will clean and dry hearing aids and offer advice about them and their usage, answering any questions people may have. There will also be accessories available to buy.
The hearing aid clinic is on Wednesday 29 May between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm at Murchison Hospital and Health Centre. Bookings are essential on 03 548 3270 or email office@hearingnelson.co.nz.
Meanwhile, if you have a community project that will help Tasman residents, meet a community need, and has community support, you can apply now for a community grant.
The criteria are broad and cover a range of categories including but not limited to service groups, festivals, and sports clubs through to welfare groups, arts, culture, heritage, and environmental organisations.
Applications are open now until 31 July. Full details can be found here.(external link)
