On Friday, we kicked off Double the Local at Ōtara Town Centre and what a beautiful start 🕺
We danced, laughed and shared kai with our kaumātua.
Double the Local | Rua te Rohe is a brand-new kaupapa from Total Healthcare PHO, in partnership with Local Doctors and the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board. Together, we’re bringing free Zumba classes to the town centre every Monday, Wednesday + Friday, helping our older whānau stay active, social + connected.
Why Double the Local?
Because it’s all about two local forces coming together — and doubling the number of locals moving, connecting and uplifting our community.
At its heart, this kaupapa champions hauora, connection + kotahitanga — bringing more life into Ōtara while supporting local businesses.
He mihi nui to everyone who helped bring this to life.
Ka rere tonu te wairua! 💙
