Welcome to our monthly newsletter designed to keep you up-to-date with SuperGrans Western Bay of Plenty's news and events.
NewsNew partnership with The Nutrition FoundationSuperGrans Western Bay of Plenty are partnering with The New Zealand Nutrition Foundation to deliver the JustCook for Healthy Aging programme. This a four week programme aimed at building basic cooking skills, confidence and motivation to cook among older people. This programme will begin on 4th November - please contact us if you'd like to find out more.

Save the date - Repair Café What do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a jersey full of moth holes? Toss it? No way! We are organising the first Repair Café in Katikati on Saturday 19th October.
People visiting the Repair Café can bring along their broken items from home. Toasters, lamps, hair dryers, clothes, bikes, toys, crockery... anything that is broken is welcome. And we'll see if the volunteers can fix them - the Repair Café specialists almost always have the know-how.
More details to come - but in the meantime, keep Saturday 19th October free!

Save the date - Western Bay of Plenty Crop SwapOur first Crop Swap will be on Saturday 7th September, 10am - 11am, at 14 Jocelyn Street, Katikati.
