What are we missing?

Oct 2025

At Heartland Services, we’re proud to be part of the vibrant Martinborough community – offering a wide range of support, advice, and learning opportunities for all ages. But we know there’s always more we can do, and that’s where you come in.

We’re running a short community survey to better understand what services matter most to you, and what gaps we might be able to fill. Whether you’ve popped in for IRD help, joined us for an Age Concern morning tea, or attended a Te Reo Tamariki session – your voice can help shape what we offer here. Here’s a snapshot of what is currently available at Heartlands:

IRD Drop-In Support – help with tax queries and forms

Autism NZ Drop-In – advice and resources for families and individuals

Age Concern Morning Tea – social connection and support for older adults

Te Reo Tamariki – fun and engaging Māori language sessions for kids

MSD Superannuation Advice – guidance for those approaching or receiving retirement income

U3A (University of the Third Age) – lifelong learning for retirees

BFC Financial Mentorship – one-on-one support to help manage money and plan ahead

Adult Courses – waiata, crochet, digital literacy and more

Knit and Natter –  social crafting circle

We’re here to support you, your whānau, and our wider community. Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey and let us know what’s working, what’s missing, and what you’d love to see next. Ngā mihi nui!
