SP community centre campaign for furniture

Brenda from Miramar

Our local community centre in Strathmore Park is undergoing a transformation to bring the building up to earthquake standards and make it fit for today's needs. The city council has funded the building transformation, but it's up to the community to find the last $20k for furniture and fittings like window blinds and a sound system.

if you don't know Strathmore Park, it's the southern hills of Miramar, overlooking the Airport and the strait. We've got challenges like being the highest poverty area in Wellington city but also strengths from being a community that looks out for and helps each other.

That's why we have a free community pataka-kai (pantry of non-perishable food), and free food from kaibosh - free haircuts, access to sewing machines, Internet, and vaccination events, and we host a mobile laundry for the community - and people in the community can drop in for a cup of tea.

We've set up a Givealittle page for the community to contribute to.

If you're doing okay, and you got a bit of cash to spare: even a dollar or two, or a hundred, or several, maybe you can help us out; and know you were a part of making this happen.
