Heartland Services: a year of connection and community

Dec 2025

025 has been an incredible year for Heartland Services! 

We’ve helped over 500 people connect with the support they need right here in South Wairarapa, and hosted more than 1000 people at our community events, such as Te Reo Tamariki, Knit and Natter, a Child First Aid Course and the Parenting Programme, which saw experts like Nathan Wallis and Rob Cope visit the Wairarapa.

Hana returned to the team, and we said haere rā to the awesome Charlotte, who did a fantastic job covering Hana’s maternity leave.

Looking ahead to 2026, we have big plans:

  • More parenting classes
  • Expanded ACE courses
  • More services working right here in Martinborough

A huge thank you to the amazing organisations we work with: REAP Wairarapa, Martinborough Foodbank, Age Concern Wairarapa, Hospice Wairarapa, IRD, MSD, Autism NZ, U3A, Digital Seniors, and many others. We love working with you to support our people!

Christmas Hours:

We’ll be closed from Friday 19 December and reopen Monday 12 January.

Hana and Pip look forward to seeing you in 2026!
