It was a wonderful day of learning, sharing and meaningful discussions! A big thank you to all our participants for your active engagement, thoughtful questions and valuable contributions throughout the day. 💕

Special thanks to Saadia Arif from Treaty People for supporting this workshop, and to our wonderful facilitators, Joy Yi Wang, Wendy Zhai, and Yongbo Cao, for their time, knowledge and dedication in making the day such a success!

🌕 Celebrating Community and Wellbeing at the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival

TANI was pleased to take part in the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival on Saturday, 24 October, at Westlake Girls High School in Takapuna, organised by the North Shore Chinese Association.

The festival brought together more than 200 community leaders, community members and representatives from various organisations, celebrating community connections and togetherness.

Our Health Promotion Team carried out basic health checks, including blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation and BMI measurements. The team also connected with community members through health conversations and promoted breast screening, encouraging women to be aware of the screening services available to them and the importance of prioritising their breast health.

At TANI, we value opportunities like these to connect with our communities, share health information and encourage people to take positive steps towards their wellbeing. These face-to-face interactions help us build relationships, understand community needs and make health information more accessible.

A heartfelt thank you to the North Shore Chinese Association for organising this wonderful community event and to everyone who stopped by to connect with our team. We look forward to continuing to work alongside our communities to support better health and wellbeing for all. 💗
