Bringing about positive change

Fab Feathy is a community-led development initiative in Pae Tū Mokai Featherston. 

Community-led development is about the community coming together to identify shared ideas and dreams, then creating goals. The community works together to move towards those goals.

It is a strength-based approach, and we know that Featherston has many strengths to work with!

Fab Feathy provides support and advice to those groups and individuals already activating and inspiring our community, doing incredible mahi for our town. We can help with introductions, funding advice and marketing support. Come and talk to us!

We are also create events for our community, to connect with each other, upskill and to have fun together. Our Feed and Fund events are the perfect example of CLD in action – we provide the space, but the community provide the ideas and the action! 

Fab Feathy’s Vision:

As a community, we want to fully realise the potential we can see Featherston is bursting with while retaining and enhancing what makes our town and community distinctive and great.
