Horowhenua Community Hub
Horowhenua Community Hub
Our Vision
MASH Trust are at the start of an exciting project to create a Horowhenua Community Hub that will be a new base for our services in Levin as well as being available for community use/hire.
Over the next 18 months, we will be working with the community to develop the hub within the old Levin Hospital complex near HLC with a focus on the future to ensure it will be fit for purpose and fit for the future. We will be looking to officially open ths hub in early 2025.
We are currently seeking input into what the hub will look like and how spaces are used.
We are looking to engage with people MASH support currently through our day programme and their families\whānau, other local organisations with similar focus and values as MASH, iwi, our referrers and funders, government, local businesses, education providers, and the general Horowhenua community.
Community Engagement
Kōrero Hapori
Community workshops and information sessions will be happening over the next few months to provide opportunties for the community to share with us their ideas for the hub.
You have the opportunity tell us your ideas of what the hub looks like – right now we have a floor plan which only gives us a basic design of the layout. It is you our community, that will give it life.
We have already heard that a private spa pool room with hoist is needed and is included in our plans, but the site might also include things like a media room, sensory room, garden whānau space, art/craft areas, Lego, or building areas. We are open to all possibilities.
