Our Strength Lies in Our People

"In unity, there is strength." Just like the Kahikatea trees that stand tall and strong through their intertwined roots, our staff and volunteers come together to fortify our organisation and the community we serve.
E tū kahikatea, hei whakapae ururoa. Awhi mai, awhi atu, tātou, tātou e.
