HĪKOI of HOPE – No One Walks Alone 💛
Te Oranganui is proud to stand alongside our whānau, hapū and community in support of the HĪKOI of HOPE, a kaupapa that reminds us all that no one walks alone.

📅 Date: Saturday, 7th November
📍 Where: Springvale Stadium
🚶‍♀️ Hīkoi: Circuit laps

This year, Hīkoi of Hope will walk alongside Whānau Ora Day.
Let’s come together as a community and show that aroha and awhi are stronger when we walk side by side. 💛

We warmly invite you to the first of two HĪKOI of HOPE Planning Hui.
📅 Friday, 9 October 2026
⏰ 1pm | Te Ora Hou Whanganui, 32 Tōtara Street

This is an open invitation to anyone who would like to join HĪKOI of HOPE – Team Whanganui and help bring this kaupapa to life.

Nau mai, haere mai Glenn "Cookie" Cook! 🍃

We're excited to introduce Glenn Cook, better known as Cookie, who has joined Te Oranganui as a Kaituruki Whānau Resilience.

Of Ngāti WehiWehi descent, Cookie brings a strong passion for supporting whānau and helping create positive pathways for future generations.

Within our Whānau Resilience service, Cookie works alongside whānau who have experienced family harm, violence, and trauma. Through a kaupapa Māori and Whānau Ora approach, he supports whānau to heal, recover, and build resilience in ways that are culturally grounded, strengths-based, and focused on long-term wellbeing.

For Cookie, joining Te Oranganui was an opportunity for both personal and professional growth. He was drawn to an organisation that aligns with his values and provides the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of whānau and the wider community.

Personally, Cookie is passionate about creating pathways for rangatahi. His vision centres on empowering young people through opportunities that strengthen cultural identity, develop skills, and create meaningful futures.

We're thrilled to have Cookie as part of the Te Oranganui whānau and look forward to the positive impact he will continue to make across our community.
Nau mai, haere mai, Cookie! 💚

One of the easiest ways to strengthen te reo Māori is to start with the words and phrases we use every day.🫶

Today, some of our kaimahi are sharing simple te reo Māori phrases they regularly use, followed by the English translation. These are the kinds of words that can easily become part of our daily conversations at home, at work, or out in the community.

❤️🖤Kōrerotia. Speak it. Use it. Celebrate it.❤️🖤
