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.

👀 Here's a sneak peek of the beautiful mahi the incredible young artists in our after-school art class, are creating.
Every second Thursday, South Alive and Ink & Flow Creative host a rōpu of talented rangatahi, as they learn new drawing skills and work on pieces for our next Art Exhibition!
This class was actually an idea brought to us by young people in our community - who wanted an after-school option outside of sports, and we're stoked we can make these initiatives happen 💭
Looking to get involved? We'll be running these sessions again in Term 4! If your young person is keen to join, drop an email to stacey@southalive.org.nz 💌
~and if you have other ideas of things you'd like to see in the community - get in touch! ... See MoreSee Less
