With the number of car break ins recently, one thing we can do to help is volunteer ( might be once a month) for the Christchurch North Community Patrol. They need more volunteers to be driving around our streets to help be on the look out for any suspicious activity. It is a deterrent so the more people that volunteer, the better.

Check out the new date ( due to the weather)

🌧 Event Update – New Date Confirmed! 🌤

Due to the forecast predicting steady rain and strong winds on Monday afternoon, we’ve decided to postpone Kia Ora Bryndwr - Connect with Kai to our scheduled rain date:
📅 Tuesday, 17 February
⏰ 5pm – 7pm
📍 Morley Reserve, Bryndwr

While we were looking forward to Monday, we want everyone to enjoy the event comfortably and safely, without battling wind and rain.

At this stage, Tuesday is looking more promising. We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and confirm on (Tuesday morning) that we’re all go.

💛 Thank you for your understanding — we can’t wait to see you there!
