Basestation Mana Enhancing Understanding
At the beginning of the year we started asking our residents for feedback - we asked “What’s working and what’s not working.”
As well as some really lovely feedback (which we will share shortly in our social media), there were some items we were able to action or fix, and some we are still working on. One of the outcomes from doing this was to create a Basestation Mana Enhancing Understanding.
Mt Everest Challange 2024
Basestation residents and friends took part in this year's Mount Everest challenge!
Now in its 10th year, this annual challenge sets the goal of going up Mount Maunganui 38 times in 50 days (the equivalent to climbing Mount Everest) You can do this solo or as part of a team.
We had 15 Basestation residents, staff, friends, and whānau taking part in this year's Everest Challenge. After doing some calculations we worked out that between us all we climbed up Mauao 237 times!
