WHY WE'RE DOING IT
Taupo Timebank is a charity built on one simple idea: everyone has something to share. These gardens at 250 Spa Rd are open every Saturday 9am-3pm for anyone to learn, grow and connect.
This is an extension of that — a safe, supportive stage where trying is more important than winning. Giving kids a chance to build confidence and shine in front of their family.
Supported by Rotary Taupo 💛
