Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), facilitates two community networking platforms; the Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking Meeting and the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting.
Both platforms enable community organisations, social services providers, government agencies and the general public a forum to connect and network with each other and to share information about their own activities.
These meetings also provide an opportunity for like-minded individuals and groups operating within the Manukau East locality to form collaborative working relationships.
Community meetings take place 11 times per year. The Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking meeting is held at Te Tuhi in Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec and the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meetings is held at the Old Flat Bush School Hall in Mar, May, Jul, Sept and Nov.
Scheduled to take place on a Friday between 1.30pm and 3:00pm, both community meetings begin with a 30 minute speaker presentation, followed by a round-robin of 5 minute introductions and ending with an opportunity to network over a light afternoon tea.
All are welcome. No cost to attend.
Increase your visibility at our meetings by becoming a 5 minute or 30 minute speaker.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
