What's on

During the opening hours, people are welcome to be in the drop-in lounge with free tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

On Fridays, the Kai Kitchen Initiative provides a hot meal to all Linden residents and friends from 12:30pm–1.30pm. It’s a chance to meet and chat with the community over a hot meal, get to know neighbours, and share ideas on how to make Linden a better place to live. The initiative is run entirely by volunteers. Contact lindencc@wcc.govt.nz if you're keen to help out, or want more information.

The centre is also used on a regular basis by many community groups for meetings and other activities.
