Building Connections: EIT & Whānau Fest

Our Volunteering Hawke’s Bay team had a busy and inspiring time connecting with our community at two great events: EIT’s Community Connections & Whānau Fest 2026.

At EIT, we met students keen to build skills, explore career pathways, and give back through volunteering. It was a great chance to share opportunities, strengthen partnerships and collaboration.

At Whānau Fest, we engaged with families, community groups, and organisations — all passionate about making Hawke’s Bay stronger and more connected. Our stall was buzzing all day with people interested in getting involved.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by.
