Our Community
We live in a beautiful part of the country, and it’s the people of Wairarapa that make it so special – the parents who coach, the volunteers who support, the people who keep on giving to make this a great place to live.
We’re proud to be part of it, giving grassroots support to all those people in hundreds of organisations who care for the Wairarapa like we do.
