Every couple of months, we rally communities together and arm them with gardening tools and paint brushes to give public spaces around South Auckland a good spruce up!

​

Clean-ups and placemaking is the art of putting some love into our public spaces so the community utilises, values and feels safe in the area.

 

Our annual sweep of clean-ups were originally part of the Town and Local Centre (TLC) Clean-up Initiative which has proven to be a powerful tool. “TLC” was initiated by former Auckland Mayor, Len Brown. Since then we've been cleaning up streams, schools, beaches, reserves and so much more!

​

In 2016, we pulled in all our connections and successfully ran New Zealand's Largest Volunteer Clean-up Event with nearly 2,000 people who removed 9 tonnes of rubbish.

Clean-ups and Community Projects

On average, our events and placemaking projects donate over 3,500 hours a year of free labour. However, it's the civic pride, and neighbourly connections that are the real positive outcomes! 

​

We organise everything; you just need to turn up and be ready to get stuck in! Afterwards we love to share kai after our clean-ups and celebrate the hard work achieved.
