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.

TAHA TINANA 🌀
Today's theme as we look after our wellbeing for Mental Health Awareness Week is: taha tinana. This is about how your body feels & how you care for it.
Refueling your body helps you to feel mentally well. Sometimes your tinana might not be where you'd like it to be and this might be beyond your control. What's important is that you do what you can to nurture it.
You could get active, like us and our friends from Active Southland & Healthy Families Invercargill - who all got our bodies moving on the basketball court at South Alive 🏀
Walking is another great way to get active too, you could try the Estuary Track or one of the great bushwalks we are lucky to have in our community. ✨️

Todays theme as we celebrate Mental Health Awareness week is TAHA HINENGARO Mental and Emotional - this is all about your mind, heart, thoughts and feelings. Hinengaro is what you do to stimulate and refresh your mind so you can better cope with the ups and downs of life.
Learning something new is a great way to exercise your mind, boost motivation and provide a sense of achievement. Why not learn something new at one of our workshops like the Fruit Tree Grafting workshop this Saturday. You can learn a new skill and come away with a fruit tree plant that can hopefully also nourish you and your family in the future.
