Now is a great time to check fire alarm batteries and make sure emergency supplies are well stocked and up to date.

Our apologies for the unexpected interruption to water supply yesterday afternoon – a water pipe was accidentally hit during watermain renewal works.
We want to say a huge thank you to J.P. Morgan who has gone above and beyond to support our Career Navigator programme in Porirua. They not only provide financial support but also offer their time to engage and work with our students through Career Navigator Workshops.

They not only provide financial support but also offer their time to engage and work with our students through Career Navigator Workshops.
The team at J.P. Morgan deliver workshops on CVs and interview skills and take students through mock interviews. It's a great experience for our students who get to gain real-world experience.
Without the generosity of organisations like them, these awesome opportunities would not be available to our rangatahi.

It took our team of 6 volunteers - Lissie, Tracy, Liam, Alastair (Tawa Lions) David and John (Tawa Lions) 1.5 business days to get it out back into the community.
This stock was shared with local foodbanks as far as Kapiti across to Upper Hutt and Wellington City.
Last financial year to 31st March 2019, our charity rescued and redistributed over 196.6 tons of food. 3,174 banana boxes of clothing, schoool supplies, Xmas present and then the trucks full of furniture and whiteware.
To learn more about what our Grenada North/Tawa charity does please watch the Tv1 Good Sorts link below.

Whilst the video is 3 years old the only thing that has changed is the significant increase in food rescued and redistributed each week. It is now 4-5 tons of food a week.
Please note that as we are a distribution hub to 67 other charities and community groups that we don't deal with the general public. Our 100 volunteers work behind the scenes directly with local foodbanks like Newlands Foodbank, Salvation Army Foodbanks in Lower Hutt, Porirua and Tawa, St Annes Pantry Foodbank, plus groups like Bellyful.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Due to a service strike as part of our Duncan Street watermain renewal project, we have had to close Duncan Street to traffic.

We've hand picked five fabulous locations to showcase a variety of homes, reflecting local design flare and style. The tours are self-driven, and give attendees the opportunity to take in the best scenery the region has to offer, try some quirky cafes or eateries along the way, and also visit our Hub; a one stop shop for all your house tour information and where they can meet the editorial team behind their much-loved magazine.
