Stories of Impact | Kōrero Manaaki 💛🌱

In a recent funding round, the South Taranaki Whanau Centre received support to help deliver their Raising Neurodiversity Complex Kids programme for parents across South Taranaki.

Providing free services is incredibly important to the team at the centre. It means families can access professional support and guidance when they need it most, without the financial pressures that can often become a barrier to seeking help.

Alongside this programme, the Centre continues to provide a range of free services and support to the community, helping ensure local whānau always have somewhere to turn. 💛

Ngā mihi nui to all of our generous donors. Through your support, we are able to back organisations like the South Taranaki Whānau Centre and help strengthen the wellbeing of families across our region. 🌱
