Community
Since its inception in 2008, our community group has served as an incubator nurturing the growth of numerous impactful local projects within our neighbourhood.
All of our projects go back to our goal of positive environmental change, fostering a resilient and sustainable community.
In today's digital age, the power of social media cannot be overstated, and for Grey Lynn 2030, Facebook has proven to be an accessible and effective medium. It provides a seamless and user-friendly platform for us to engage with Grey Lynn, Westmere, Arch Hill and Ponsonby residents.
Through Facebook, we have efficiently disseminate information, keeping our community well-informed about various projects underway, upcoming events, and important initiatives that contribute to our area's sustainability and well-being. Also Facebook allows for a two-way conversation and comment.
