Before I Die I want to...
Te Omanga Hospice has created a 'Before I Die' wall in celebration of Dying to Know Day in August. The wall is part of a global art project that invites people to contemplate death and reflect upon their lives by asking "Before I Die I want to..."
Originally created by Candy Chang on an abandoned house in New Orleans after the death of a loved one, there are now more than 5,000 walls in 78 countries and 36 languages.
Visit the following Hutt City Libraries to join the conversation:
* 3 - 9 August: Petone Library

* 17 - 23 August: Wainuiomata Library
* 24 - 30 August: Upper Hutt Library

and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

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.
