Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022
The Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022 is on this Saturday from 10am-4pm!
Don your winter woollies, grab your binoculars, and invite your friends and family for an afternoon of scavenger hunting to find lots of unique yarn birds, created by Wonky Stitches NZ, hidden all around the Lower Hutt city centre! Don’t forget to register your participation at Wonky Stitches NZ and you can pick up a copy of the map at the War Memorial Library on Saturday!
There will also be a Crochet Workshop running during the Bird Count at War Memorial Library with a koha donation entry. The proceeds from this will be going to Wellington Harbour Little Blue Penguin Study (Penguin People). This event is sponsored by About Space Hutt City, a programme that places active and creative projects in vacant spaces, to add vibrancy to the city.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
