The Take 10 pilot outside of the St. James Theatre brought a positive atmosphere to the Wellington nightlife among Courtenay Place on Friday and Saturday nights. Staff were engaging and professional with the public, they made me feel welcome and always encouraged me to get involved handing out water or lollies. I would like to see Take 10 become a permanent fixture in Wellington.

Huge congratulations to the team for this excellent investment in making Wellington a safer city for everyone
Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons, Community Well-Being Portfolio Lead
We see this project making a significant contribution to the city’s approach to harm reduction as well as contributing to the city safety and community well being. Take 10 is a preventative initiative which reduces the impacts of alcohol harm by providing a safe and supportive space for vulnerable youth, people to take a break, rehydrate, charge cell phones and reconnect with friends. Wellington City Council is committed to continuing to partner with Take 10 through ongoing support from officers and funding.
