'Care OUT there' newsletter for care groups in our open spaces
Care Groups working in the Whakatāne District do a fabulous job in supporting, advocating, coordinating and providing inspiration to the wider public and the Whakatāne District Council on projects and spaces that are important to them.
We currently have a number of formalised Care Groups working on various ongoing projects around the District, with many other groups and individuals doing their bit on track maintenance, rubbish collection, providing edible food growing spaces, carrying out pest control, and looking after projects important to their marae, kindergarten or club activities, to mention just a few.
Visit the links below to find out more about these groups, how you can get involved and view the latest issue of the 'Care OUT there' Newsletter

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
