Today we were privileged to be part of the Greater Wellington Region Veterans’ Support Forum held at Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua.

It was an honour connecting with current and ex-serving NZDF personnel, their whānau, and the many organisations working to support our veteran community.

We were especially delighted to see a number of veterans who attended sign up to some of our health and wellbeing programmes today. Thank you for taking the time to kōrero with our team and learn more about the support available through Maraeroa Marae Health Clinic.

Ngā mihi nui to Veterans’ Affairs and The Ranfurly Veterans’ Trust for bringing together such an important event that helps connect veterans and whānau with the services, advice, and support they deserve.
