When it started in 2002, we called our community service offering “New Settlers”. It is a group where participants can benefit from increasing their fluency in English, learning new words and improving their ability to live successfully in this country. The programme aims towards creating a welcoming living place for our increasing diversity of people.

Eric Bowater coordinates this service along with the help of Dev Mooten. New Settlers meets on Mondays at 10am (except for public holidays and school holidays.) If you are interested in joining please contact Eric on mbowater@clear.net.nz
