Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), facilitates two community networking platforms; the Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking Meeting and the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting.

These meetings provide an opportunity for community organisations, social service providers, government agencies and the general public to connect and network with each other and to share information about their activity.

The Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking meeting is held at Te Tuhi in Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec and the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meetings is held at the Old Flat Bush School Hall in Mar, May, Jul, Sept and Nov.

Both community meetings begin with a 30 minute speaker presentation, followed by a round-robin of 5 minute introductions and end with an opportunity to network over a light afternoon tea.

All are welcome to attend at no cost.

We look forward to seeing you and connecting with local organisations at the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting being held from 1:30pm to 3:00pm on Friday 31 July at the Old Flat Bush School Hall on the corner of Murphy's Road and Flat Bush Road, Auckland 2016.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
