Whakamaru

Whakamaru is a transformational community facility for everyone in Wellington.

Alongside existing Wellington City Mission services like the Social Supermarket and our network of Community Practitioners, Whakamaru will be home to 35 long-term transitional housing apartments, a medical centre, a sacred space and laundry/showers available to all.

Operational 24/7 with staff on site at all times, our network of support services will be available to anyone who steps through its doors, as well as the residents housed within.

But in Whakamaru, Wellington will also gain a vibrant community hub where there is no ‘us and them’. A pay-what-you-choose public café will bring our community together in one place, while a suite of well-equipped meeting rooms will make Whakamaru a centre for collaboration across the wider community.

The Wellington City Mission will move to Whakamaru in November of 2024.
