Arts Out East supports community-led mending and upcycling shop

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

Arts Out East is supporting a beautiful new initiative by NFACT (New Settlers Family and Community Trust), empowering women from refugee and migrant backgrounds in East Auckland.

This welcoming programme offers a space to connect, share stories, and explore creativity through art, embroidery, and textile work. Led by skilled women, the hands-on sessions build confidence and foster a strong sense of belonging.

Join the group every second Thursday, 11am–1pm at the Cultural Hub in Ormiston. Bring your well-loved clothes or items in need of repair to the community-led mending and upcycling shop, it’s a great way to breathe new life into your garments while supporting a meaningful cause!

Arts Out East is a Te Tuhi programme supported by The Howick Local Board.

So we’re curious…
