Child, Youth and Family

It takes all sorts of people to care

for children and teens – you may be

surprised to learn that you are just

the right person to do this!

We’re hosting Hot Seats with Child,

Youth and Family during December,

for anyone wanting to know more

about opening their homes to

children and young people in need

of care, support and a stable home

environment.

If you are interested in foster care or

becoming a caregiver yourself, come

along for a chat.

4, 11 & 18 December, 10.30am - 11.30am.

Living Lit in December

December’s Living Lit group will be

Thursday 12 December from 5.45-

6.45pm (note this is a different day

than the usual Wednesday). The topic

for discussion is Memory and we will

have a festive supper to celebrate the

end of the year!

Thursday 12 December, 5.45- 6.45pm.

The Local Government Commission (LGC) is holding a third public meeting prior to possibly proposing change to the shape of local councils in the Wellington region.

Mobilize your friends, neighbours, clubs, and workplaces, and tell the LGC what you think.

Upper Hutt City Council was very impressed by the number of residents at both of the Local Government Commission meetings in Upper Hutt on 21 November. The strong turn-out was a great reflection of our community spirit and engagement in the debate about proposed changes to the structure of regional governance. It was very disappointing that the Commission had to turn away over 100 people due to room constraints but here is another opportunity to make your voice heard.

One more chance to MAKE AN IMPRESSION!
