BRIDGE CONNECT GROUP
Bridge Connect is a small group of locals passionate about connecting with our history, the landscape, the place of faith and ways to make our community thrive.
In recent years Māngere Bridge has seen a huge increase in apartments. We continue to organise series of evenings to welcome and inform the recent arrivals.
Our desire is that people will quickly connect and discover the uniqueness of this amazing suburb.

It was a lively day at Ambury Farm’s for the Friends of the Farm Sewing Bee for November, filled with the rhythmic hum of sewing machines and the cheerful buzz of conversation.
