Who We Are

South Alive is an urban rejuvenation project, led by the community, with the goal of identifying the best possible future for South Invercargill and ways to make it happen.

It was established in 2012 with a small steering group, which then held a public meeting in April 2012 to generate ideas and decide priorities. Action teams of volunteers formed around each of the priority areas, and have been working since then to develop and implement projects.

Last week, we teamed up with Kaimahi from Healthy Families Invercargill, and held the third Rangatahi Cooking Class for the year, in The Pantry Invercargill kitchen!

9 keen teens came along and got stuck in, they made a beautiful veggie and noodle stirfry, followed by fruit and choccie dessert muffins 😋

They each took home a bag of utensils, ingredients, recipe cards, foraging maps and an electric frypan to continue the learning at home. We will be hosting more of these in 2026 - if your young people are keen to get on the waiting lists now, send an email to: Stacey@southalive.org.nz with their ages!
