This Friday! Grey District Youth Trust ...welcome back!! 👏🙏🍀

This Friday 24th April, at Byte - Māwhera Digital Hub - TWO TALKS celebrating our beautiful outdoors!

*The amazing kea, how to take part in the kea counting survey, and how to keep your tramping and camping trip "kea safe".

*Tales from the Sea - Emma Newton will tell us all about her recent 10-day experience on the Spirit of New Zealand!

THAT Outdoors Group is a Tū Manawa funded, youth-led group for young people wanting to get outdoors, learn new skills, and make new friends. These two talks are for everyone interested in hearing about the topics. It's also a good chance to learn more about upcoming walks and workshops.

Thank you to Byte - Māwhera Digital Hub for their ongoing support of our region's youth!

🧠 Introducing the Byte Hub Busy Brain Station!

At Byte Māwhera Digital Hub, we know that people learn, think, and concentrate in different ways.

For some people, including those who are neurodiverse, kinesthetic learners, or simply have a busy brain, having something small to move or hold can help with focus, listening, and processing information during meetings, training sessions, or coaching conversations.

That’s why we’ve introduced our Busy Brain Station.

You’ll find a bowl of fidget tools available for anyone who might find them helpful during their time at the Hub. Whether you’re attending a training course, workshop, meeting, or coaching session, feel free to use one if it helps you stay focused and engaged.

Just help yourself during your visit and pop it back when you're finished so others can use it too.

Sometimes the best thinking happens when busy brains have busy hands. 💡

✨ New Space at Byte Māwhera Digital Hub ✨

We have been listening to our clients!

While our conference room, meeting room and training spaces are popular, we were often asked if we had a more comfortable, less corporate space for smaller conversations.

So we have created one.

Introducing The Gigabyte Relaxed Meeting Space – designed for 2–4 people who want a more comfortable environment for conversations, coaching sessions, interviews or small planning meetings.

The space features soft seating, a whiteboard for ideas and planning, and sliding doors that create a private, quiet environment away from the busy workspace.

Perfect for:
✔ Coaching or mentoring sessions
✔ Interviews
✔ One-on-one meetings
✔ Small team planning
✔ Client conversations

And of course, guests still enjoy access to our complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate station, complete with freshly baked cookies from our local Blanchfields Bakery ☕🍪

Day and evening access is available, making it easy to book a time that suits you.

If you prefer comfortable over corporate, Gigabyte might be the perfect space for your next meeting.

We had a lovely couple use our coworking space on Friday and unfortunately they left their IPad behind somewhere in Greymouth.

If you found one on a seat, at a Cafe or store can you please message us so we can get it back to them. They are touring NZ it would be great to get it back to them before they leave.
