The Friends Society organise many wholesome family and community care events. Free for everyone to get involved, some events are for the whole community to get together and enjoy. Others are targeted at our tamariki, getting them learning and experiencing new things. We have many activities for the whole whanau and we include everyone in the programs and projects we co-design with community. Have fun, join up and get involved. You are our Whanau.
