When Risingholme Community Centre opened in 1944 it became an important hub for the local community. It was a place where people could gather, connect with one another, and learn.

In keeping with this legacy of community service and connection, we partnered with the team at InCommon for their Share Kai and Kōrero initiative. This is a series of pop-up neighbourhood food nights where you can expand your culinary experiences, connect with others, and get a taste of the diverse cultures that call Aotearoa home.

Join us under the lush grounds of Risingholme Park this summer and sample a new cuisine each week prepared by the Share Kai Cooks Collective who are all passionate cooks from former refugee and ethnic communities.
