Tangata Marae - skills sharing workshops
“The funding had a positive impact on our whānau, hapū and iwi by contributing to our wānanga. The wānanga allowed for sharing of skills, such as karanga and whaikorero, and transmission of cultural knowledge and tikanga while bringing our community together, fostering a sense of belonging and unity.”
Manchester House Social Services
“I have been regularly attending the low impact classes at the Feilding Senior Hub for many years now. I absolutely love the camaraderie and being a part of something. The new bikes are far better on my knees and hips and I am finding the strength in my lower legs is finally increasing. The circulation boosters are also fantastic to keep the blood flow in my legs and I have gained feeling back in my feet.”
