- call 04 389 7122

- drop into level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown
🎁 Access Criteria?
- be the parent or primary caregiver

💙 The old saying goes ‘Christmas is the time for giving’. We're going a step further and make sure this ‘giving’ puts the dignity and mana of our community whānau first.


What's one highway or road that needs attention?
We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.
If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.
Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
