Merry Christmas from Community Networks/LINK

Community Networks/LINK want to say Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a huge thank you to the Wānaka and Upper Clutha community for all your support in 2022.

To those who donated time, money, clothing or food; to our great and growing team of volunteers; funding partners; support agencies; local businesses; families and individuals – we couldn’t do what we do without YOU!

Our team will be taking a break over the festive period, so our offices at the Hub will be closed from December 23 – January 3. We will be open on January 4, 5 and 6 from 9.00am - 3.00pm, then 9.00am -5.00pm as usual from January 9 onwards.
