Seagull Centre

Hey Seagull whānau, it’s time for a fresh start! We’ve spread our wings and moved to NEW Facebook & Instagram pages—and we don’t want to leave you behind!

Why the move? We no longer have access to this page, but we’ve built a brand-new space where we’ll continue to share all things Seagull—recycling tips, auctions, workshops, and community updates!

Come fly with us!

🐝 Kopuarahi School is having a working bee!
And they need your help 🫵
They need as many people as possible to lend a hand helping to plant trees and make their outdoor classroom 🌳
There will be a free sausage sizzle and a great community buzz.
Mark it on the calendar 📅 Saturday 26 July 9am til 12noon.
Oh yeah.. one more thing.. ☝️
🧐 We are on the hunt for 5-6m of local mulch.
If you or your company is able to help, please get in touch with us.
Even a chipper and some logs would be helpful.

On Friday we held our United Nations Global Goals workshop 🌐 that will link to our 2025 Community Grants.
We had a group of passionate go getters that are making a massive difference to our community and to our planet 🌎
It was great to hear about their organisations, their projects, and their passion to make the Thames Coromandel District a thriving ecosystem 💚

If you would like to know more about the Goals or our Community Grants please head to our website.
