Projects

The heart of our work is to enable people to find expression for their skills and talents.  We do this through whānau development and providing tūrangawaewae – places for residents to stand tall.

Te Whare Roimata’s Current Projects are located across:

    • Smith Street Garden
    • Linwood Community Arts Centre – Eastside Gallery
    • Stanmore Road Post Office & Books
    • Under the Tin Roof Op Shop
