Invitation to Community Organisations:
Please join us for the re-awakening of I ♥ Brighton!!
I ♥ Brighton was born from the February 2012 earthquake to help our community connect and recover. The purpose of the event is to celebrate, showcase and unite the greater Brighton community. The event is held on Waitangi Day, but is not solely a Waitangi Day celebration. We want to recognise and celebrate this significant day as well as the special qualities of Brighton and its people.
Join us at the event to showcase your group and the great work you do. You might like to create a game or activity people would enjoy, recruit volunteers, drum up some new members, promote events coming up, fundraise, educate and inform.
