In Whitianga, they play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and safety of residents and visitors alike. Their services range from emergency medical response and patient transport to education and support initiatives that foster healthier communities.
We’re excited to be working with All About Whitianga and Mercury Twin Cinemas on this fundraiser for our local Hato Hone St John team.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Terminator 40th Anniversary Screening
"The Terminator," directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a landmark in the science fiction genre. Released in 1984, this film introduced audiences to a dystopian future where machines have taken over, and a relentless cyborg assassin, portrayed by Schwarzenegger, is sent back in time to alter the course of history. The film’s thrilling narrative, groundbreaking special effects, and memorable one-liners have cemented its status as a classic, beloved by fans worldwide.
It’s 40 years since the first screening of The Terminator - so we’re bringing Arnie back for this special screening of this iconic movie which features an awesome cast and some classic one liners. It’s great to be partnering in support of this St John Whitianga fundraising event and I’d encourage everyone to get their tickets online or at Mercury Twin Cinemas as soon as possible as there are limited tickets available .
– Anne-Maree McDougall, Mercury Twin Cinemas.
