Parnell Community Hub

Blind Low Vision NZ (BLVNZ) has designed and created the Community Hub (the Hub) for people who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision. Every aspect of the space has been thoughtfully considered to ensure it is welcoming, accessible, and inclusive. The Hub is intended to be a vibrant gathering place — a shared space where individuals, consumer groups, and community organisations can connect, collaborate, and participate fully. We warmly encourage our members to make the most of this special space and to treat it with the same care and respect that went into creating it.

To help keep the Community Hub safe, secure, and accessible for everyone, all members must complete an Access Agreement before entry is granted. In addition, a Health & Safety orientation must be completed before an Access Band is issued.

For more information, please call our Contact Centre on 0800 24 33 33 or email ParnellAdmin@BlindLowVision.org.nz.

The Hub is a self-managed space featuring bookable meeting rooms, which are subject to availability.
