Jack Sheppard, Alexa Belavskis and Anne Nelson are each working 20 hours per week based at the Featherston Community Centre. Please come by and say hello. They’ll be keen to hear which projects in the community plan you think are a priority for Featherston – and to learn more about the ideas behind some of them.

Guest Speaker, Dame Lowell Goddard
Our guest speaker, the Hon Dame Lowell Goddard, gave a wonderful talk at the Annual General Meeting on Thursday 26 July. She shared her personal insights from working on several high-profile commissions, including the Independent Police Conduct Authority, the United Nations Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture and UK’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in England and Wales.
Dame Lowell was supported by a lovely waiata sung by our own Featherston Wahine Singers, who meet at the Centre each Tuesday.
