SPiCE (the Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment) is a community-led development organisation situated in Sandringham, Auckland - a suburb known for its delicious South Asian food, its vibrant, diverse and colourful village, and its Art Deco heritage. On this website we have put together all you need to explore and get to know Sandringham, as well as information about SPiCE events and projects and how you can join in the fun.
Sandringham is a great place to live, work, study and enjoy, and at SPiCE we bring the community together to make it even better!

You can download the app to your phone, and do the tour for free!
If you have any more ideas for walking tours of Sandringham we could have on the app (think history! art! culture! food!) please let us know.

recent PROJECTS
SPiCE is involved in many projects and community connections, large and small, and here is a small selection of some recent projects. To see our other projects please visit “Our Projects” page.
SANDRINGHAM SPOONVILLE
In mid-August 2020, during the second Covid-19 lockdown for the Auckland area, SPiCE started Sandringham Spoonville under one of the gingko trees in Sandringham Reserve. Spoonville is a community art and connection project where residents are encouraged to decorate wooden spoons as people, and then add them to the Spoonville on their daily walk or bike ride. We are up to 30 spoons, and know many children look forward to checking in to see what new spoon folk have joined Sandringham Spoonville each day.

SANDRINGHAM FESTIVAL - 29 October 2022
The Sandringham Festival has been a key event for the Sandringham community for 20 years. Occurring in spring every year, this year the festival is planned for Saturday 29 October 2022 (Covid-19 permitting). Sandringham Festival is a fun, family event created by the Sandringham Business Association to highlight the shops in the area and bring the community together. Naturally, being Sandringham, there is plenty of delicious food on offer, as well as entertainment and a variety of stalls. We hope to have a real community feel to the Sandringham Festival this year, with lots of free fun activities on offer, and performances from local school groups. Let us know if you would like to be involved!
