EcoMatters is thrilled to announce a fifth year of getting Aucklanders out and about by bike to find street art and win $1000 worth of prizes. But this time it’s different! 

For 2025, the Street Art Bike Challenge will be held in balmy April, to make the most of end-of-summer weather as well as Easter and the school holidays. Plenty of opportunity to ride solo, with friends, or the whole whānau 🙂

Kāinga Ora put together a monthly panui updating the community on what they are doing in the area.

You can read the May panui here.

Digital Seniors seeks to erase that barrier and help seniors feel supported and empowered as they learn. Our hubs are weekly social learning spaces for seniors to receive free one-on-one coaching and support using their devices in a positive, fun and social environment.

Our new Digital Seniors hub will be held at St Heliers Community Centre weekly from Thursday 19th September. Hubs will run 10am-12 noon every Thursday morning.

Get together with like-minded people and organizations working in and around Panmure.
