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.

Ākonga from Aurora College came and hung out at South Alive this week, in a 3 day block course hosted by Front-Line Training, to study & attain their Learner Licenses 🚗
They shared beautiful kai, with a HUGE thanks to The Pantry, who provided morning tea & lunches over the duration of the course 🫶
We love collaborating with other local organisations to see our Rangatahi succeed in spaces without any barriers!
