In response to your answers we have tried several new things this year including whanau art nights, more koha based programmes, a new disability ramp for the building, weekly and termly programmes in Meremere, termly letterbox drops in the village for those not on social media, termly schedule on our website and social media, launch of individual art therapy sessions.
