Celebrating 120 years! Empowering, transforming, and creating fullness of life for Wellingtonians who need support. ❤️

Whakamaru opened a year ago today! In that time, Whakamaru opened a year ago today!

In that time, Whakamaru has become a hub for everyone in our region – a place for those in need of support, but also a place for the community to come together.

We’ve had an incredibly busy year here, and our impact shows the demand for our services in the Greater Wellington region. Now more so than ever, your support is critical in ensuring we are able to do what we do.
What we do. What we do.
Who we are. Who we are.
🎉 Only one week to go until we celebrate the fi 🎉 Only one week to go until we celebrate the first birthday of Whakamaru!

Join us for a fun day of community, kai, and celebration, featuring a pop-up Mission Store, delicious food from Fiji wala khana, @mrwhippynz, @donutexpress_nz, and a Rangatahi-ran sausage sizzle! 🌭🍩🍦

There’ll be live performances from Kapa Haka groups, a Thai dance group, the Faultline Chorus, and even a few familiar Mission faces taking the stage. Plus, fun for everyone with WellyPutt, a photo booth, and colouring for the kids.

📍 Whakamaru, 4 Oxford Terrace
📅  Sat 1 Nov

Come celebrate an amazing year of Whakamaru with us, everyone’s welcome! 🎂
