Looking for land / hall / space to lease
After 6 amazing years of renting the Huntleigh Girlguiding Centre, Crofton Downs, for our holiday programmes and Nature School we are on the hunt for a NEW and equally amazing locations for Everyone Out. We want to continue to run our programmes on the West / North side of Wellington City, probably somewhere between Karori and Johnsonville, so it won't be too far for our current families to travel to. This will also compliment our south coast location in Island Bay.
The location would need to be available to rent / lease during the school holidays and at least 2 school days each week during the term.
We are open to different options and would love the opportunity to develop a site. As our programmes are mostly outdoors we don't really need a hall but we do need shelter and somewhere dry to store our gear. As a minimum we need access to water and a toilet, an existing structure for shelter or permission to construct a structure and a storage shed. Grounds that have mixed terrain, some open flat grass, bush, some mature trees, would be great - a stream would be a bonus. If the area of land is small it must border a park or bush that can be freely accessed. The location must be accessible for vehicles not a long rough 4WD track.
So if you know any locations that you think would be perfect please let us know. We are willing to consider all options and an out of the box solution might just be perfect!!!!!!
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)
