Naenae Clubhouse needs your unused or broken bicycles
Naenae Clubhouse needs bikes, now, in time for the Hutt Winter Festival show from 14 – 23 of July. The size of bike they need would be suitable for 10 – 18 year olds.
The bikes will be fixed up by young people mentored by local volunteer and mentor Rob Stead for the community to use during the festival to tour historical sites around Naenae and learn about the suburbs’ rich and interesting history.
Fixing bikes provides a range of skills to Clubhouse members. They can learn about design, writing, fixing and maintaining bicycles and recently a 6m long container arrived at the Clubhouse for use as a cycle garage and safe store room.
Stead, a retired ex-mechanic will pass on his knowledge and skills to the young people and asks that any donated bikes have pedals, brakes and chains.
To donate a bike contact Lily Chalmers on lily.chalmers@huttcity.govt.nz

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
