The Miramar and Maupuia Community Centre is a community hub at 27 Chelsea Street in Miramar, on Wellington's eastern side. It describes itself as a place of whanaungatanga, where everyone is welcome and where people are encouraged to share what they can offer. The centre is run by a community trust with a board drawn from local residents, and its staff and board have long ties to Miramar and the eastern suburbs. It hosts many community activities and services, and the centre says it is looking to develop more. The office is staffed Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 3.30pm, and it is best to call on 04 388 1944 to arrange a visit, as staff are sometimes out. Events outside those hours follow the centre's timetable. A monthly update with the activity schedule is sent to people who join the mailing list. The centre also thanks the businesses and organisations that have supported it over the past two years. Our pick in Miramar for a local group or event that wants a home base in the eastern suburbs.
