Kia ora e te whanau

We are so grateful for our Ogle whanau and all of their pukenga. Uncle Tuini, uncle Buster, uncle Sonny and aunty Gertie built these awesome canopy for our wharenui backsteps.

Nau te rourou
Naku te sourdough

Toi AwhiMā - Mau Taringa (Clay Earrings)

Ngāti Hine Kahu Taurima are leading something special in Kaikohe this June, and we're honoured to tautoko their mahi.

Designing taonga from clay, sharing kai, wānanga on hauora well-being, and strengthening the bonds that hold us steady.

This is for hapū mama and whānau with tamariki aged 0–5. Resources and kai are provided.

Feel free to bring your own materials, a plate to share or just come along.

Nau mai, haere mai!

He āhuru mōwai — your whānau deserves a warm home this winter. 🌿

The Winter Energy Payment started 1 May. If you're on a benefit, NZ Super, or Veteran's Pension — it's already coming to you automatically.

But there's more support stacked behind it:
✅ Manawa Ora — free heating, insulation, bedding for whānau with tamariki
✅ Warmer Kiwi Homes — up to 90% off insulation and heating grants
✅ Energy Wellbeing — for Meridian and Powershop customers
✅ Work & Income housing support
✅ Tenancy rights if your rental isn't warm enough

Ko te whare māhana, ko te hauora o te whānau.
