Alongside our Nelson ReStore, we're proud to partner with Wellington’s iconic CubaDupa festival each year.

Throughout the year our volunteers set aside plain tees donated to our store and provide them to the CubaDupa crew.

If you’re heading along to the 28–29 March event, grab a screen printed festival merch tee, with a contribution from each tee donated back to our charity.
