It was such a pleasure to help one of our members organise a new walker. Our office team are pretty good at sourcing products, researching the best options and online shopping, and we love a challenge!

We're down at the Ron Hardie Rec Centre for the Meet the Locals expo. Come and say hello!

14/11/2025

Organisations, clubs and craft stalls are inside the rec centre so whatever the weather you can come along and have some fun 🌧️☀️

WOW! We have over 35 organisations, clubs and service providers getting ready to connect with the Kawerau community!

As this is our first Meet the Locals in Kawerau, and want to make it manageable for our Hosts - Collective Community Kawerau - we have CLOSED REGISTRATIONS. If you missed the opportunity, but keen to participate next year, please message us and we will make sure you are on the invite list.

In the meantime...come along TOMORROW to have some fun and connect with your locals.

Our monthly meeting on Monday was so interesting! We were joined by Michael from Over The Moon, who talked about his interest in uranium glass and demonstrated why it's so fascinating. Many thanks for sharing this with us Michael.
