Upcoming workshops

Weaving Wellbeing and Connection

When: Wednesdays 12.30 - 2.00 pm
Dates: 10 June –  29 July (8 sessions)
Where: WWHC offices, Level 5, 175 Victoria Street, Wellington CBD
Cost: $10 to secure your booking. If cost is a barrier, please get in touch.

These workshops focus on topics related to wellbeing while fostering spaces of connection and creativity, including working with textiles, drawing or collage. No skills needed, and absolutely everyone is welcome, even if you think you’re not crafty!

Self-Defence - Term Lessons or One-Day Introduction

We have two different upcoming self-defence workshops to choose from:

An eight-week self-defence program designed for women and gender diverse participants of every body shape and fitness level, focusing on building strength and confidence in a non-judgmental space where techniques are gradually introduced in each class.

Or, a one-day workshop where participants learn simple, adaptable techniques to help you protect yourself, set boundaries, and move through the world with greater confidence.

We’re hiring!

WWHC is looking to grow, and we’re on the hunt for our first Growth & Operations Manager, reporting to our governance Committee. This role will have real influence: managing operations, shaping strategy, building revenue streams, leading our small team, and expanding our reach across the community.

Introducing our new Committee

The Collective is steered by a volunteer Committee that sets our strategic direction, works to secure funding opportunities and supports our staff and service delivery.

Late last year, WWHC undertook a recruitment drive to grow our Committee and bring on volunteers with new skills and experience to lead us into our next chapter.

We are so thrilled to welcome six new Committee Members and two Associate Members.

Donations welcome

As a charity entirely funded by donations and grants, we’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of those who support our work. Every donation helps ensure Wellington wāhine have access to essential mental health services.

Ngā mihi me te poroporoaki

Lastly, we want to thank and farewell our former Committee Chair, Anita, and our Funding Co-ordinator, Jo, as they move on to new things. We are so thankful for their mahi and wish them both all the best.
