Haven marks 10,000+ visitors

Haven, a peer-led, after hours drop-in support space on Karangahape Road recently welcomed its 10,000th visitor.

A partnership between Odyssey, Lifewise and Mind + Body, the service has been open at Merge Cafe every weekend outside of Levels 3 and 4 lockdowns since it opened its doors on 11 October 2019.

Visitor numbers steadily rose before the first lockdown and now regularly reach 400+ per weekend.

We’d like to say a big thanks to our wonderful peers - “Our peers have created a powerful and supportive environment that swells over to the community in a most positive way! Their wealth of knowledge and different life experiences are really appreciated by our visitors,” notes Darrell Wilson, Haven team leader.
