Our friends at Compost Collective are facilitating a 4-week food appreciation programme to reduce food waste going into landfill.

This event is mainly for people who are either Deaf or hard of hearing, therefore it will be delivered in both sign language and English.

Please share across your networks!

Come and cook with Natasha! We will learn easy recipes together. This event is for Deaf and hard of hearing people. There will be an NZSL interpreter there.

Why do we love to keep it local? Because we know that street-level, community-led climate actions are real and relatable projects with tangible wins for our whānau — like cleaner waterways and green spaces, thriving local food systems, and a connected, resilient community. Proving that when we collaborate in our own neighbourhood, we create a vibrant place to live and protect Papatūānuku at the same time.

We hope you enjoyed being part of it as much as we did and we look forward to collaborating again soon 💚💚💚
