Limited spots left whanau, get in amongst this awesome kaupapa💃

🌿 Wāhine Workshop Celebration & Exciting News Ahead 🌿

This week we completed our first wāhine workshop with Waiana, and what an amazing journey it has been.

It has been incredible watching our Kuini of the Far North learn new skills around kai and build confidence in the kitchen for themselves and their whānau. But these workshops are about so much more than cooking.

They are about wāhine making new connections, stepping outside their comfort zones, supporting one another, and sharing the pūrākau of their lives. They are about whakawhanaungatanga, growth, laughter, healing, and creating a space where wāhine feel seen, valued, and empowered.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this first workshop such a success.

Our next workshop is in collaboration with Tutu Threads, a homegrown initiative to support our wahine to look their finest! Register now so you don't miss our as these groups are filling fast.

Meet the Team and this time it's our Tane in the house!

Meet Dylz! He is a great example of when times get tough, we get tougher! 💪

Living the dream of helping others, he is a natural in our space and now uses his lived experience to inspire our rangatahi and others he meets.

On top of a busy life with his own whanau, he is also studying mental health and addictions. 📚

Thanks, Dylz for all you do for our community.

Kia ora whanau,

Hope you're all keeping well through this bipolar weather!
Welcome to our Meet the Team Campaign.

We are starting with this amazing wahine who has given so much to our community without any expectations.

She really is so selfless and humble in all she does.

Have a good one and look forward to introducing the rest as we go🤝

Like to take a moment to send our Rakau Ora love to whanau effected by the recent incident in Ahipara.

Kia ora whanau!

We had the mean morning hanging with like minded staunch tangata o Muri whenua!

We are more than humbled to be working in collaboration with Te Hiku Hauora on a kaupapa close to us all personally and communally.

Have an awesome weekend and to all the whanau getting your tamariki to their winter sports WE SEE YOU.

Much Aroha Ness.
