Featherston Community Centre is 100% Community Owned
Established in 1992, the Featherston Community Centre is owned by a trust on behalf of the community.
We provide reduced rent facilities so that everyone in the community can access support services and activities.
Rental fees cover half of our expenses, the remaining is sought in grants, donations and services in kind.

Need Support?
At the Centre we have created a South Wairarapa Support Hub.
Sometimes we have things in life that are challenging and some of us are finding life a bit difficult at the moment. Need assistance or advice with legal problems, finance, addiction, employment, family relationships?
If you are facing a challenge, finding things hard, feel overwhelmed or maybe you just need to talk to someone privately. Pop in and say hi. We will be a listening ear, assist where we can and there are often experts available to help you, at no cost.
