Love Whangārei Monthly Clean Up
Every month volunteers come together to remove waste from the environment. Fly tipping and general litter are removed to protect wildlife and restore a clean environment.
Repair Cafe
We are just getting started with this project.
A repair cafe is a regular event held to support the community to repair items instead of sending them to landfill. Volunteers with skills in sewing, electronics, mechanics, carpentry, technology and more work alongside the community to repair their items.
We are also seeking volunteers to help with organising, advertising, baking, repairing and more.
Love Whangārei Monthly Clean Up
Spend two hours getting stuck in to remove waste from our environment.
All gear provided.
