Wellsford Plus – Wellsford: Unity and support

Nestled in the heart of Mahurangi, Wellsford is more than just a town; it’s a vibrant rural community where the spirit of togetherness thrives. For those who call Wellsford home, the value of this community is immeasurable. It’s a place where local businesses and volunteer groups work hand-in-hand to create a supportive and welcoming environment for all.

Local businesses in Wellsford play a crucial role in supporting the community. From the friendly corner Lotto store to the bustling cafes, the two Four Squares, gift shops, book shop and hardware store, these businesses not only provide essential services but also foster a sense of belonging. They sponsor local events, support schools and contribute to various community projects. By shopping locally, residents help sustain these businesses, ensuring that Wellsford remains a thriving hub of activity.

Wellsford is fortunate to have a number of dedicated volunteer groups that tirelessly work to enhance the quality of life for everyone. Organisations like Wellsford Plus, the Lions Club, the Landowners & Contractors Association, Wellsford Volunteer Fire Brigade, Albertland Museum and Support Your Local are just a few examples of groups making a significant impact.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 29, as Wellsford hosts the Wellsford Charity Colour Run. This vibrant event is not just about fun and fitness – it’s a fantastic opportunity to support our much-needed Wellsford Volunteer Fire Brigade. The event will feature a 10km run, a 5km walk, and a 5km run, and includes a fun family day out ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Participants are encouraged to wear red to show their support for the fire brigade. The day will be filled with colourful excitement, delicious food trucks, games and activities for the whole family. All profits from the event will go directly towards helping the Fire Brigade acquire a much-needed ute for their lifesaving work.
