'LOVE HOWICK' is not just a catchy slogan, but an inspiring mission to see our city transformed.

Our mission is to bring people TOGETHER FOR TRANSFORMATION

Our vision is to build a platform for partnerships between key sectors of our local community to see our vision of a prosperous city emerge. These partnerships will include church, family, government, education, business, media & the arts all working together to better our environment, improve the well-being of people and ensure that we create a positive future for our children’s children.

'As people we seem to have this constant magnetic pull towards all things negative. If we were to be truly honest with ourselves, we can probably all agree that we spend more time being critical as opposed to optimistic, we often give more attention to what is wrong rather than what is right, and we definitely have more defined views of how things should not work rather than how they should work. This is a serious problem and one that we attempt to start reversing through the collective 'LOVE HOWICK' campaign. We think its time that we began to declare what we do have, what we can do and what we have already accomplished in our beautiful town of Howick. It's a time to drink from the well of good news and allow our hearts to be stirred to 'LOVE HOWICK' more than we presently are.' – Matt Hogarty
