CNT manages the Headquarters & Sunderland Lounge community spaces and provides a wide range of community initiatives & events Connected Neighbourhoods Trust began in 2012, formerly under the name Hobsonville Community Trust. While we began initially in Hobsonville, our community development has expanded over the years to now include Hobsonville, Whenuapai, Herald Island and our community emergency
resilience work extends across Auckland's NorthWest. We manage the Headquarters and Sunderland Lounge community facilities on behalf of the Upper Harbour Local Board, coordinate a range of community development initiatives and also facilitate a community emergency hub, shelter and response group and a range of community emergency networks. We're also pursuing trying to create a new community hub for the new Whenuapai settlement area. Our heart is to empower our communities to connect and foster a sense of belonging where those living, working, studying and playing can contribute to community life. We recognise that every person, family and community has a range of emotional, physical, social, educational and spiritual needs and that it takes a whole community, working together, and operating in its strengths, to help those needs be met. We use the health & well-being model of βTe Whare Tapa Whaβ to guide our approach as we support and serve our wider community.
