When we talk about community and the power of coming together, this is exactly what we mean 💙
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the MBST Community Connect Event at Ōtara Town Centre last Friday. It was incredible to see so many people coming together to connect, learn, move, laugh, and support one another.
A special shout-out to our Community Manager, Li'amanaia Kaisara , who helped bring the event to life and kept the energy flowing as MC, along with our amazing Ola Manuia team who got everyone moving with Zumba. We were also grateful to have our partners from Auckland Cricket join us, sharing bats and balls with local tamariki through the BatFirst Initiative and helping make the day even more memorable.
Throughout the morning, our teams connected with so many whānau, completing health checks, having meaningful conversations, and supporting people on their wellbeing journeys. Most importantly, there were plenty of smiles, laughter, and new connections made along the way.
Thank you to our dedicated teams, community partners, and everyone who stopped by. Days like these remind us that when we come together, we create stronger, healthier, and more connected communities. 🌿✨
