Local workshops which promise hands-on activities like making foot scrubs, bath salts, and lip balms, with a strong emphasis on environmental awareness, are being staged locally by charity group Divine River.
With over 30 sessions so far, the group said its “workshops have been a hit with all ages, filling a critical gap in accessible activities that foster teamwork, connection, and a sense of belonging.”
In a statement Divine River NZ Trust quotes a Wairarapa librarian noting that local libraries “have become a hive of activity with young people and their caregivers making eco-friendly products. The participants leave with a greater awareness of personal care, sustainable practices, and pride in their creativity.”
The trust said its workshops “empower participants with sustainable personal care choices, promoting both personal well-being and environmental consciousness. Recent workshops included making Lavender Shea Soap and Spearmint Foot Scrub.”
Divine River NZ Trust has a Cinema Fundraiser evening at Circus Cinema on 7 November.
