Join us for SEA's upcycled holiday event this year

Talk social and engage with other creative social entrepreneurs, while making fabulous 'No Sew Wreaths' that reimagines old garden hoses, tyres and clothes into colourful Christmas wreaths.

The workshop will be led and facilitated by Ger Tew, the founder of The ReCreators. The Recreators is a Social Enterprise that promotes upcycling either through purchasing products pre-made, custom-made or by learning to do it yourself (DIY) through workshops.

We are also inviting a few social enterprises from our Buy Social Marketplace, and you will get the opportunity to buy social goods that support the community this year.

Book your ticket now!

For more information on the event or if you are a social enterprise looking to display/sell products and services at this event, please write to sathya@socialenterpriseauckland.org.nz.
