Let's get the Merivale community moving!

We all like to see thriving, vibrant communities where people are safe, connected, and can make healthy choices. We like to engage in activities that build strong relationships. We want to experience life and enjoy all it has to offer.

Merivale Community Centre supports local youth, individuals, families and whanau to access community activities, but we need your help to make more of this possible. We know that involvement in positive experiences can help people develop their self-identity, build connections, learn and grow, and simply have fun! Your donation will help get youth to sports activities or arts and cultural workshops, transport new mums or older people on an outing, showcase our region to new migrants, or transport emergency food supplies.

The Tauranga suburb of Merivale is an area of need with low household incomes, high unemployment, and a lack of access to resources. Transport is often a barrier for residents to join programmes or activities outside the immediate geographic area.

Your contribution will help towards purchasing a van so that rangatahi and tamariki, older people, young mothers, ethnic communities and more can improve their well-being and connection to others.

With the community behind us, we are confident that we will leverage support to raise further funds from additional sources. Contribute today, and let’s get the Merivale Community moving!
