Merivale Community’s Vision Realised With New CentreA long-held vision for a vibrant, inclusive hub in the heart of Merivale has come to life, with the opening of the new Merivale Community Centre this week. “This centre is about building a thriving and vibrant community where people feel safe, connected, and empowered to make healthy choices for themselves, their whānau, and the wider Merivale community,” explains Dave. It is about creating real pathways for rangatahi to thrive, right here in Merivale.”Over 150 people attended the blessing of the Merivale Community Centre on Friday, 26 September. The Merivale Community Centre was founded in 1993 as a grassroots, community-led organisation located in the heart of Merivale. With the move into a new space, the centre looks forward to expanding these services and creating even more opportunities for local whānau.
