Britt Georgina

Hi there, I’m Brit! I’m 29 and a local christchurch girly. 

I am a girly girl who loves being social, events or really just any excuse to be together with a group of people. I enjoy getting to spend time doing anything creative, fun and wholesome, even better when it’s summer and the adventures can take us outside! 

By day I’m a seamstress and by night I am usually at a girly movie/craft night, having a cute dinner out or watching F1. 

My love for events and all things hosting comes from a place of enjoying the whole process from start to finish, creating a beautiful atmosphere for you to walk into, being able to connect, meet new people, and develop friendships, and then relishing in the ‘aftermath’ as you pack up and reminisce on the memories made and, of course, the photos taken! 

I’m so excited to get to meet you and can’t wait for all the fun we will have together xx

Ashleigh Hamilton

Hey ya! My name is Ashleigh, I’m 31 and from Christchurch.

Having lived in Ōtautahi Christchurch my whole life, studied at Canterbury Uni and worked in Local Government as a Research Analyst, it’s safe to say I’m a big lover and advocate of my home town.

That said, I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of travel over the years. My favourite place has to be Japan. I just love everything about it; the culture, the people, the food, the bustling cities and the incredible nature. If you see me at an event, come and swap travel stories with me!

On the weekends you’ll likely find me out training for the Queenstown marathon, cozied up with a book, at a yoga or Pilates class, thrifting, or spending time with friends and family. I’ve also recently dabbled in pottery classes, so watch this space!

I know making meaningful connections can be tough, especially when friends move away or are at different stages of life. By becoming a leader for Dear Community I hope to help facilitate those connections, conversations and memories through amazing events with an incredible group of women.

Can’t wait to meet you xx

Lucy Brown

Hiya, my name is Lucy, I'm 22 years old and am originally from Hawkes Bay, but moved to Christchurch at the beginning of this year.A little bit about me, I am not from New Zealand originally, but have lived here since I was 10, being lucky enough to live in some really cool places all over the world like Jersey, Bermuda and Malta when I was growing up! I work as a Member Engagement Specialist for Chartered Accountants, and want to use those handy event skills to create some really great experiences for you girls. When I'm not working, I love going to the gym and running, but also any excuse to do something fun and spontaneous, whether that's going out with my friends, eating some great foods, going on a cheeky little Matcha mission or having a cuddle in the sun with my flatmate's cat. I am so excited to meet you in person and I promise that I am the biggest yapper in the world, so definitely come to an event because I would love to see you there xx

Emma Paterson - Book Club

Kia ora! I’m Emma, I’m 24 years old, and I moved to Christchurch about a year and a half ago.

I’m a big cat person (but certainly not anti-dog) and love anything creative - painting, drawing, cooking, etc! I’m also a big bookworm and film lover, always drawn to stories that make you think. I appreciate meaningful conversations, and I love meeting new people and hearing their stories.

I started going to Dear Community events when I moved here and wanted to make new friends, and along the way, I’ve made some amazing memories with incredible people. Now, as a leader, I’m excited to help others do the same. Can’t wait to see you at an event!
