Let’s get together

Our Pasifika women come together once a week for fellowship and traditional crafting, led by the super-talented Vailia. If singing, chatting, and crafting sounds like your cup of tea, contact us today.

We can provide transport to and from the venue (Knox Church, 28 Bealey Ave), as well as a healthy lunch and fellowship.

We welcome new participants! If you or someone you know would like to get involved or get in touch with one of our team members listed below or call us on 0800 PASIFIKA (727 434).
