Do you work with, live with, or support a young person between 12 and 24 years of age who is neurodiverse?

Neurodiversity includes autism, attention deficit, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and Tourette syndrome.

The Rotorua Centre for Youth is offering a free, 4-hour workshop on 30 June 2026 for adults to give you the knowledge and tools to confidently support a neurodiverse young person.

Please contact Chloe on

for more information and to register.

If English is not your first language, you could consider bringing a friend along who can help you to understand the presentations.

🌻 Something special is on its way ...

The Children's Ward at Rotorua Hospital will soon be receiving some wonderful new equipment, made possible through the amazing support of our community.

We're looking forward to sharing more details and celebrating the official presentation with the Children's Ward team in the coming weeks.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Rotary Rotorua Sunflower Spectacular and helped make this possible.
