- 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 WINZ, IRD; financial advisors; legal aid; and social work services.
- We can provide access to a range of practical support to help you and your whānau with day-to-day needs, including food parcels and vouchers.
- We coordinate community services like the JP services; Total Mobility Vouchers; Meals on Wheels and Wheels to Dunstan, assisting locals to travel to Dunstan and Dunedin hospitals.
- 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.
- Our wellbeing connector, a registered occupational therapist, can provide short-term direct support for coping with a variety of issues like parenting, finances, and mental wellbeing; and if needed, connect you with the appropriate longer-term resources.
- We assist whānau experiencing hard times with one-off essential household expenses, including firewood and power.
