Phone a friend
People in our community need your help. We need you to echo our messaging to people without internet.
With the lockdown it's harder than ever for us to reach those people. Things can change so fast that printed materials can be out of date while still warm from the printer.
Thankfully we have a great community with strong social networks in Lower Hutt, and we need to use that now more than ever.
So please, if you see something important here or on our website, please phone your friends and whānau to pass it on.
Spread information, not COVID-19.

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.
