Tēnā ra koutou katoa

Our Kaimahi have been busy building relationships within the rohe that have been indicated to us as those needing the most attention.

We had our Board member Bully and his partner join us in our visit to Te Hā Oranga on Tuesday. We were able to present to them all and learn about all the services they provide so where we are best suited and how we are able to best awhi their most vulnerable. Whanaungatanga was the focus.

Daffodil Day. We have all been affected by someone who has/is suffering from some form of cancer and for Ngā Manga Pūriri we don't have to look much further than within our own team. We were frivideldged to attend a Daffodil Day Breakfast Fundraiser  in Kaikohe at Northland College.  Following on we will be at Te Kona for the Tamariki Vision Testing Day. This is an all day event where all the schools of Kaikohe will eventually present to have tamariki tested.

NMP wil be participating in The Beast Mud Run in Puketona.

NMP will be holding an event at the Bay Adventurer Emergency Housing Units in Paihia. We have invited Police, MSD, Corrections, MNWR, Yellow Brick Road, NHHT, TROW, THOON, NISS, Family Harm, Kainga Ora, Financial Mentors, Solomon Group, TKEMKT, Ngati Rehia and many more, of which so far over half have confirmed their attendance. This event , again, is to support and awhi our most vulnerable and ensure that they have all the correct information to dream and aspire for more. Services like ours and others will support our whānau to address issues which may be holding them back and, we are a mobile service so we are taking the services to them.

September 5th-11th is GHAW week, officially. On the 8th & 9th we have been given the opportunity to participate in an event in Auckland and Sky City Casino which I have gratefully accepted. Our stall will be in the evening and we look forward to greeting all that come through the doors,

There are many more events to include in our calendar and as dates are confirmed we will update you all.

Mauriora
