Free food and free accommodation in return for a few hours work per day. There will be time to sit together and enjoy the beautiful spring beauty of Wangapeka.

Please can people register their intention to attend by email (wangapekacentre@gmail.com) by Wednesday 19 October.

 

Come for a day or the whole period. All are welcome and there are lots of different activities to choose from. If you are a trades person we need plumbing, electrical, building and joining skills. If you would like to work on the land, you could be in our garden or in forestry plantation. No experience or specialist knowledge is necessary to be part of this time of community, guidance will be given and jobs suitable for each person. Alternatively if you could do painting or sewing or any other work you think could be of use here, we would be very happy to welcome you.
