Wānaka Community Workshop (WCW) is an inclusive space, where people are welcome to come and participate in or host workshops, work together on individual or community projects.

Participants can learn and share from a  range of skills and processes, or simply drop in for a cup of tea and some companionship. 

The WCW was developed as a community resource, where people can access the tools, materials and physical space necessary for building and repair projects without having to purchase or rent their own; and to create a space where people can learn new skills.  

The WCW also offers opportunities for people to volunteer their time or skills, to create things for the Upper Clutha community.
