Community support services and some fun

This month we celebrate 1 year of Heartland Services in Martinborough.

Twelve months in we are really starting to see some gains from the connections we have been making in the community.

As with anything new it takes time, and when people haven’t had anything like Heartlands before it’s an adjustment. 

We are thrilled at what we have achieved and to what 2025 will bring. Our senior community is certainly a strength, and we will look to build the support we can offer in that space, continuing services with Age Concern, Hospice Wairarapa and Digital Seniors.

Our financial service has also started to have impact working with people in our community to get the assistance they are entitled too or the support to make change.

A highlight must be working alongside Rural Support in hosting The Bitches Box comedy night at Ruakokopatuna Hall, a fabulous night showing how important it is to come together as community for some time out , connection and, in this case, a good laugh.

We want to close the year with a bit of fun, so send the Christmas Thanks tag as an opportunity for people to share thanks _ be it to an individual, community group or business. 

This year has indeed confirmed there is a strong beating heart in our community.

Heartlands will be closed from Monday 20 December to Monday 13 January.

We wish you all a very Meri Kirihimete, Charlotte & Pip.
