Currently, the activity groups are around 30 to 35 people of mixed abilities from across the Waipā and Waikato area and all services.
Volunteers run all our activities in partnership with support workers or family members.
Monday is for Volunteers who want extra training and to prepare for the crafts at the end of the week.
Tuesday is set aside for small crafting groups of up to 6 people who want to learn new skills or hone old ones in specific areas.
Wednesday Community Cafe is a smaller group that comes and goes during the morning. The focus is on connection rather than crafts.
Friday group is our largest gathering of the week with much resourcing and variety. Being our most popular day we often end up with 60+ people including volunteers and Support workers.
