March is Neighbours Aotearoa Month

This March, a lot is happening in Hataitai.

Neighbours Aotearoa is about building social cohesion in our community. Building solid relationships so that our communities thrive and, in challenging times, people know each other and where to seek help.

The Hataitai Community House and the Hataitai Centre are spaces for our community to come together. We run regular events throughout the term, and our spaces can be hired for your next birthday or event.

The events committee is putting on a couple of community events this month as well as the Hataitai Residents Association. There are many different ways for you to participate.
