Jason Pilkington

Hi, I’m Jason Pilkington and have recently joined the board as a member at Manawatu Supporting Families. I work in strategic development for the Palmerston North City Council and have helped Manawatu Supporting Families develop its strategic direction and policy


development over the past year. I’m also passionate about families and I believe that family/whanau is the cornerstone of the health and well being of this great community in the Manawatu. I care about this community and its well being and believe that as a board member I can add value to this progressive and wonderfully diverse organisation. I like hanging out with my family at picnic spots, reading and going to the City library, gardening, walking our dog with my son and eating good food. See you around the Drop-in-Centre!
