Last Monday, we had the privilege of welcoming kaumātua Martin Cooper and representatives of Waikato-Tainui into our space to bless our new Level 4 floor.

It was a special way to open the space — grounding it in tikanga, acknowledging those who have come before us, and setting the tone for the mahi ahead.

We’re really excited to have this new papa ready to go. It gives us more room to grow, strengthens the way we support our rangatahi and whānau, and helps us create a space that feels warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive.
This space will also be available for hire, providing a place for our wider community to come together.

Level 4 will now be the main entry point into our services, with Zatrius based at reception to mihi and manaaki everyone coming through. If you’re visiting us, this is where you’ll be welcomed in.

Ngā mihi nui ki a Tainui for your time, guidance, and presence with us. We’re grateful to begin this next chapter in the right way.

We’re looking forward to seeing this space come to life and welcoming our community into it soon. Mauri ora 🤍

Kaihāpai Hōtaka – Programme Facilitator

We’re looking for a person that can effect change and impact. Is it you?

If you love people, and love seeing rangatahi step into their power, this is your kind of mahi.

At Hāpai Tūhono, we walk alongside Māori rangatahi as they explore who they are and where they’re headed. We’re grounded in manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and mana motuhake — and we’re not shy about doing “whatever it takes” to help our communities thrive. And just so we’re clear: Bring your full self, your whakapapa, your reo, your humour, your quirks. All of it is welcome here. Whether you are tūturu or on your journey. We grow from strength to strength by being unapologetically Māori.

We had the privilege of hosting STRIVE Community Trust whānau, who also introduced us to the Counties Manukau Sport team.
Like us, both these organisations are working with young people and families in the South Auckland area.
When coming together to strengthen and support each other is the key to help our whānau together.
"Ma te kotahitanga e whai kaha ai tātau. In unity, we have strength".
