Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022

Hutt City Council

Hutt City Council and the local artist behind Wonky Stitches NZ invite you to join us on a unique bird counting event around the Lower Hutt city centre for all ages.

Don your winter woollies, grab your binoculars, and invite your friends and family for an afternoon of scavenger hunting to find these uniquely created yarn birds. Don’t forget to register your participation at facebook.wonkyStitchesNZ and you can pick up a copy of the map at the War Memorial Library!

A Crochet Workshop will be running during the Bird Count at War Memorial Library. The proceeds from this will be going to Wellington Harbour Little Blue Penguin Study (Penguin People).

This event is sponsored by About Space Hutt City, a programme that places active and creative projects in vacant spaces, to add vibrancy to the city.

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.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
