Following the success of the Te Newhanga Kāpiti Community Centre's inaugural open day this month which saw more than 100 locals visit the centre, a further open day is planned for Tuesday November 3 from 11am to 2pm.
Kāpiti Coast District Council's connected communities manager, Tania Parata, said the centre is fast becoming a community hub with both Volunteer Kāpiti and Kāpiti Community Foodbank co-locating at the centre, alongside regular bookings from other community groups and service providers.
"The centre is focused on bringing Kāpiti's not-for-profit community sector together with the aim of establishing a vibrant place where people can access information and services.
"Supporting our communities to thrive is also a key area of focus for the community centre and over the next few months we'll be delivering a range of programmes that focus on food security, wellbeing and building community resilience."
Ms Parata said the community open days provide an opportunity for people to come together and learn more about the diverse array of community organisations operating in Kāpiti and the services they provide.
