As an Incorporated Society with Charitable Status CC 23705, Glen Eden Community House is governed by an executive committee that meets monthly. Our building is fully accessible, with ramps, wider hallways and doorways, and fully equipped toilet facilities.

The history of Glen Eden Community House dates back over 40 years. The house was donated to the people of Glen Eden and relocated from Daraville in 1989 with support and funding from Glen Eden Borough Council. It has been located within Prospect Park on Pisces Road ever since.

Our journey began in the mid-1970s when mothers in the area started an informal playgroup in their homes. As the group grew, they realized the need for a dedicated meeting space, leading to the establishment of Glen Eden Community House. A public meeting was held, and a steering group was formed to advocate for a community house. Eventually, a management committee was elected, and the first tenancy agreement was signed with Waitakere City Council.

Over the years, we have undergone several extensions and improvements. The house was broken into and damaged by fire, leading to the implementation of a 3-stage extension plan. The plan included the addition of car parking spaces, an extended play area with a purpose-built preschool playground, and the construction of the Nikau Room, additional toilets, and a storeroom.

We are proud to have gained IRD tax exemption as a charity organization, further highlighting our commitment to serving the community. In addition to our regular programs and activities, we also offer before and after-school care, as well as a school holiday program.
