Bit of a slow one next week, whānau!

We'll be closed on Monday for Labour Day. Back into the swing of things on Tuesday morning - with tānē group kicking us off!

We are also going to be heading down to Salvation Army on Rutherford St at 12:30pm on Tuesday to hear more about the Speedfreaks initiative that is currently happening in Christchurch - this is a running/walking group to bring people together who have a lived experience in the addiction space. Want to learn more? Join us on Tuesday!

Waiata Group heading up to Franklyn Village at 10am on Wednesday morning. Come back to Nikau in the van and enjoy some yummy leek & bacon pie and head off on the Farm Shop after that. What a day!

Thursday morning Al will be back in his element, tending to the gardens with his green thumbs. Word on the street is he loves company - be sure to say hello and give him a hand if you're that way inclined!

Friday sees all our usual suspects. Y'all know the drill.

Stay safe in the sun this weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday morning!
