Today

Description

At Te Korowai Trust, based in Whakatū (Nelson), we are dedicated to supporting whānau through a holistic and kaupapa Māori approach. Our services include building financial capability, the Maara Kai programme, social workers, Kairangahau ā-Whānau, Whānau Ora, and Mokopuna Ora Navigator assistance.

We understand that accessing help can sometimes be challenging, so we offer a mobile service to ensure that support comes to you in the comfort of your own home. We proudly serve the entire Nelson region, from Atawhai to Brightwater, though you are always welcome to visit us if that suits you better.

While our primary focus is on Māori whānau, our motto, tatou tatou, reflects our commitment to inclusivity and assisting everyone in our community. We’re here to support all people, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Staff

Our team at Te Korowai Trust consists of specially trained and dedicated professionals, each bringing their unique backgrounds and personal experiences to our work. We use this rich diversity of knowledge to guide our approach, ensuring that our support is both effective and deeply attuned to the needs of the whānau we serve.
