About Us
What We Do
Howick & Pakuranga Community Houses Incorporated Society, 368928 (HPCH), operates two community houses in the Howick and Pakuranga areas; Highland Park and Anchorage Park Community Houses. The society is supported and funded by Auckland Council and the Howick Local Board to operate the two houses for the community and their surrounding areas.
The mission of HPCH is to provide quality, affordable, safe venues and services to assist in the facilitation of community activities and all activities that contribute to a Holistic sense of well-being. We do this successfully by hiring room space in each of the houses and funding a number of community classes and events.
