Our Short Break to Waverley was a blast!! 🫧🏓

We stayed right by the beach, where we could relax in a spa with an amazing view! We looked at the Fun Ho! toy museum, and Dawson Falls on Mount Taranaki - where we even saw a little bit of snow!

We had so much fun, that I’m sure we’ll come back again someday! 🌄

Every Friday for the past Term we have been doing our Creative Community course! This has been so much fun doing many different arts and crafts, and getting out into the community!

We've been to The Dowse Art Museum for inspiration, attended a Karori Arts & Crafts workshop, made our own cool bracelets at Village Beads, lots of fantastic painting and so much more!

For our community, we were focused on making some awesome donation packs for the Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand. We learnt about what they do and wanted to support them and other families in our community. We also helped clean up our local riverside, and got to see one of our awesome volunteers, Jo, at her work with the Wellington Free Ambulance and the Porirua Fire Brigade! A huge shout out to them, as we learnt so much, and they answered all of our questions. We really appreciate the time they gave us to teach us about fire safety and other health and safety.

It has been an awesome term and we can't wait for more midweek courses in Term 3!! 😆

National Volunteer Week!

Our final shout out is for our awesome volunteer/placement, Alyce.🙌
Alyce has been with us just over 6 months from the UK and has gotten stuck in! Doing many different programmes and filling in last minute when needed.

'I’ve absolutely loved volunteering at Recreate! I came to volunteering wanting to give back, build my own confidence, and do something meaningful, and it’s honestly given me so much more than I expected. Being able to be a part of this amazing organisation and grow in myself alongside everyone else has been such a rewarding experience.'

Thank you so much Alyce for giving it your all. We wish you a safe journey home. If you, or someone you know is keen to volunteer or interested in a placement with us, please get in touch at [email protected]!

National Volunteers Week!

Today's shout out is for our volunteer, Brock. 🙌
Brock has been a dedicated volunteer of Recreate Wellington, and always puts his hand up for any and every programme.

'I love getting the opportunity to do a variety of fun and stimulating activities I wouldn’t usually have done (My favourite being the overnight getaways across the country!) and meeting all sorts of young people with all sorts of personalities.
Over the past few years, volunteering has greatly benefited my skills of leadership, problem solving, conflict resolution, and general confidence. And it’s a nice break from my day-to-day life.'

Thank you Brock for everything you do for Recreate Wellington! If you, or someone you know is interested in learning more about volunteering at Recreate NZ- please email [email protected]!

Here is a shout out to our awesome volunteer, Dani. 🙌
Dani has been one of our most consistent volunteers and been with Recreate Wellington since the beginning! She, like all our volunteers, has played a crucial part in the growth of Wellington and we want to thank her for continuing to support us.

'I have always loved giving back to my wider community. To me volunteering gives me a real sense of purpose, I find this very rewarding. I really love volunteering at Recreate because it gives me the opportunity to empower the youth all while hanging out with them and being their buddy. We get up to a lot of fun activities and experiences, this is an awesome way to give me a break from everyday life.'

So we'd like to say a BIG thank you to all of our volunteers!!
Recreate NZ can't run without them, and they help us so much to be able to do what we do!

A few weeks ago we ran a Volunteer Training night. This was a great opportunity for the volunteers to meet each other, learn together, and have a lot of fun. We also had Nick from our youth board as a guest speaker!
