🎄🎄CALLING ALL CREATIVE TREE-MAKERS🎄🎄

Jamie Dobson from Hutt City Council

Our About Space programme is bringing back the Re-Tree exhibition for Christmas on High 2021!

We’re looking for creative individuals or community groups to make Christmas trees from recycled material - you might be an artist, or just love Christmas 🎅

Your masterpiece will be part of a free pop-up exhibition, running from 6-23 December in a vacant store in the CBD.

Preferably you’ll be designing with your own found materials, but we have some limited vouchers for Earthlink to get some tree-makers started with reused materials. We also have some mini-trees, made from off-cuts from our annual Street Trees to be your canvas for painting or decoration 🎨

If this sounds like you, email aboutspace@huttcity.govt.nz to find out how to get involved.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

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.
