Big things start with small voices! Tuhipō (6) from Oratia District School recently launched a petition calling for a dedicated skate and wheel play area in Piha, and her efforts have reignited our passion at the Piha Kids Charitable Trust.

Most of the school raised their hands in support when asked if a skate park in Piha was a good idea. Esther (9) shared: "So many people are coming up to me at school and asking where they can find the petition!" Room 2 at Oratia School, if you're wondering. 😉

Their initiative, a pertinent recent reminder that we need to support the connectedness and mental health of our rangatahi, and renewed energy from the Piha R&R, has given us the boost we needed to continue the mission to create a safe and fun space for our kids to skate and ride in Piha.

Let’s keep the momentum going! Stay tuned for more updates on how you can support our Piha kids and teens.
