Community & Whanau Network Hui
The Community & Whanau (C&W) Nelson Network Hui are an opportunity for staff and volunteers from community organisations to get together on a monthly basis. These meetings provide a forum where issues, ideas or projects of interest can be raised and discussed, and valuable information, ideas and strategies shared.
Please contact [email protected] with Community & Whānau in the subject line if you require any further information, or to register your interest to speak at or facilitate at a hui. We email out a reminder a week before each meeting and notes are usually sent out within ten days of the hui. Subscribe to the Community and Whānau News above and you will receive both the newsletter and the reminders for the hui.
The Community and Whānau Nelson Network Hui will be held as hybrid (in person and on Zoom) where possible. The hui location is The Habitat Hub/Restore, located at 166 Tahunanui Drive, Tahunanui. Please sign up to our newsletter for the Zoom link if you wish to attend online. Sign up to the hui invites (including any changes), notes and newsletter here
