Our communityour community
Pōneke's climate community is doing extraordinary work, and they show up for each other.
The organisations here span the full breadth of climate action in our city. Grassroots collectives, legal advocates, food rescuers, educators and more, brought together by a shared belief that this work is stronger in community.
"I have already got quite a lot working from the space. We are now working together on the Future Generations Bill."

We would love to hear from you. Get in touch to learn how you can be part of the Pōneke Climate Hub community.
Get in touchour kaupapa
We assist climate-focused organisations in Pōneke to connect, collaborate and support each other.
Our city is home to amazing people and organisations working towards a world of climate justice and sustainability. Often this work can be thankless and endless, yet we know it is critical.
Pōneke Climate Hub brings organisations together in meaningful ways here at two/fiftyseven, to connect, support each other and flourish together.
We believe
Collaboration over competition
Climate work is too urgent and too important for silos. By working together, sharing resources, and supporting each other, we can achieve far more than any organisation working alone.
Community care
The people doing climate work need support too. We prioritise wellbeing, peer support, and creating spaces where people can recharge and find solidarity with others who understand the challenges.
Climate justice
We centre equity and justice in everything we do. Climate change affects communities differently, and our response must be rooted in fairness and the recognition of tangata whenua.
What happens at the hub
Workspace
A home base at two/fiftyseven for climate organisations, startups, advocacy groups and collectives to work, think and connect.
Public events
Climate events hosted by participating organisations, bringing Wellingtonians into collective climate action.
Skills workshops
Co-designed workshops built by and for hub organisations around the skills they identify as most needed.
Monthly connection
Facilitated sessions strengthening collaboration, visibility and shared kaupapa across sectors.
Peer support
A structured network offering mental health support, early intervention tools, and referral pathways for those doing climate work.
"Working from the space, I met people who helped us push our ideas forward. Would love if more climate groups were able to work together."

Our communitypeer support
A network so those doing critical climate work can support each other and thrive together.
Our vision
The Pōneke climate community is thriving, with a large supportive network having regular check-ins. Everyone in the network is equipped and supported to support others across the communities they are a part of.
Everyone working on climate action is connected to at least one trusted person who can check in when they need support, so that everyone has access to peer to peer conversations that help them work out their own next best steps towards wellbeing.
Our approach
To uplift the capacity of strategically connected individuals across the climate action community to carry out effective support conversations with peers at all stages of wellbeing, creating an ecosystem of care that nurtures an upward spiral of effective support.
Peer support role
To be a supportive friend within the climate action community.
How we support
Mental Health First Response
Members of the network are trained Mental Health First Responders. They are equipped to notice when someone might be struggling, open a supportive conversation, and connect people with the right support.
Peer-to-peer check-ins
Network members respond to requests for check-ins and proactively reach out when they notice a colleague may be struggling. Support conversations are informal, confidential, and led by the person receiving support.
Escalation and referral
When someone needs more than a peer conversation, network members act as a bridge to professional support, helping people find the right options. In a crisis, members are trained to act immediately to keep people safe.
Peer supporters
The members of the Peer Support Network below are trained in Mental Health First Response, and are here for a chat.
Alex MacGibbon
Kaibosh
There are many Pōneke organisations and volunteer groups doing great mahi for the environment and communities, and many of us feel the weight of the climate crisis and interconnectedness of our world deeply. Connecting with a network is an important way to support each other when things are hard or feel heavy. I am really pleased to be part of this Peer Support Network and the Climate Hub community.
Ash Holwell
two/fiftyseven
I am a maker of spaces and design activist. I believe in the deep interconnectedness of us all and that the only way is together. That is why I am here to support.
Esther Lewis
Seeds to Feeds
Tēnā koutou katoa, I adore my mahi with Seeds to Feeds, bringing our communities together through sharing kai, skills and time with each other. The Peer Support Network is a wonderful way to continue helping strengthen the resolve and support our peoples resilience for Pōneke.
Gráinne Patterson
two/fiftyseven
I want to support people to be able to engage with climate work and activism in a way that is sustainable and does not come at the cost of their own health.
Kimberley Savill
Sustainable Business Network
Tackling big challenges like the climate crisis is only possible together, and I know for-purpose work can take a lot out of us. So I am glad to be part of a web of support that can help sustain this community.
Laura Whiting
two/fiftyseven
Things always feel more possible when I am in community. I am part of the peer support because I want those doing critical climate work to feel the support of the community and thrive together.
Miki Inoue-Palmer
School Strike 4 Climate
Kia ora, I am Miki (she/her). I am a local student and climate activist seeking to support fellow rangatahi in any challenges they may face working in climate spaces, and am delighted to be part of the Peer Support Network.
Nick Henry
Oxfam Aotearoa
I believe that mutual aid and solidarity will save the world. I am happy to be part of a network where we can support each other.
Rose Dohig
Kaicycle Urban Farm
Kia ora, I work at Kaicycle Urban Farm as a Community Farm Manager. I have been working in the climate action and not-for-profit space for many years now and I have seen and experienced the toll this mahi can take on mental health. I think this network is a great resource for us to face these challenges together, rather than feeling isolated and alone.
Ryan O'Connell
Switched on Bikes
I run Switched on Bikes. A lot of my work focuses on providing options to make it easy for people to bike to get around. I usually work from two/fiftyseven once a week, and if I am not there I am working from the bike store by Waitangi Park on the waterfront.
Simeon Collier-Foley
Generation Zero
I am a believer that everyone has a unique and beautiful part to play in dreaming and creating our collective future. People connecting in inspiration and collaboration is magic. Glad to be part of this network to support one another with and through this weaving.

two/fiftyseven
A home for people, organisations and communities doing good in the world. Aotearoa’s first coworking and events space built around the idea that space is a powerful enabler for change.
Seeded in a progressive squat in the Netherlands, grown through community spaces in Whangārei, and landed in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, two/fiftyseven started with a question: what if property served people, not the other way around?
Most coworking spaces give you a desk and grey walls. two/fiftyseven lets you into an inspiring space, full of people working on things that matter, who are genuinely fired up to be there together.
Our kaupapa
Space as a tool
Access to space is a major barrier for many people to create, gather, and build communities. two/fiftyseven exists to change that, making space available to those doing good in the world.
Sharing economy
We do not need to double the size of our cities by building more. We can double them by learning to share more. Sharing is at the heart of the sustainable future we believe in.
Supportive ecosystem
For every hour someone is in the space, two/fiftyseven gives away $1 of free or discounted space to organisations that otherwise would not have the room to do their work.
Built different
When the team stripped a 700m² inner-city office back to its bones, almost nothing left the building for the skip. Materials were carefully salvaged and rehomed, glass into fish tanks, lights into tiny homes, carpet tiles into the Naenae pub, and what stayed was rewired, repurposed, and rebuilt. Sprinkler pipes became shelving. Salvaged timber became furniture.
Sourcing second-hand and giving things away during construction connected two/fiftyseven to its community long before opening, and earned it the title of Aotearoa’s first certified Climate Positive coworking and events space.
