Shirley Community Trust is for everyone in Shirley, providing spaces to connect, contribute, have fun and belong. People can meet at our Community Centres or our Community Garden, and join in with a wide range of activities … or just sit and chat with others.

For over 20 years the Trust has aimed to support all who work, live and play in Shirley, together growing community.  We are privileged to be a part of this wonderful journey.

Our Values

  • Hauora – a holistic approach, physical, emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing
  • Listening to the people of Shirley – their voices guide what we do
  • Trust – earned through building strong connections and relationships
  • Collaboration – with community and other organisations
  • Entrepreneurship – looking to the future and trying new things
  • Commitment – here for the long haul

Term 3 has officially finished and the school holidays begin! We hope you have a great time, if you have tamariki and/or rangatahi (children and/or teenagers) at home 😎 Make use of the holiday activities happening in Shirley, and further afield and make the most of the nice weather when we have it ☀️

In case you missed the memo on the event page - the weather for Saturday is looking less than ideal for stall holders and shoppers! We have made the call to postpone the Mini Market to the following Saturday, 30 September. Stay warm & dry this weekend, and we hope to see you there next weekend

It's a great privilege in this country that we have the right to vote 🗳 Let's not squander that privilege but use it wisely! Come and meet the candidates who are vying for your vote and hear about their policies and views! It's a great way to make an educated vote in the upcoming elections 👍
