Kia ora e te whānau! 👋👋Thanks to heaps of hard mahi, determination, and collaboration, our community space "Be:Long" is open! 👊👊The corner of King Street and Victoria Ave (opposite Gibbos Fresh Fish and next to Kope Indian Cuisine) is a place where we can all be:long. That is – a place we feel part of, and a place we can hang out for a long time without feeling like we need to be moved on. 🌈🌈Enjoy - and add to - the gardens our rangatahi from EmployNZ Whakatane have been developing. Skate or scoot on the ramp rangatahi from Whakatane High School built for you. Practice your street art on the legal graffiti walls. Eat your takeaways on the grass or on the pallet furniture we built together. And look out for the basketball hoop and play trailer that should be making appearances soon too! 🌻🥬🥕🏀🛹🛴🖌🎨🍔🍤🍜🍦Big shout out to all those who have helped make this happen and come on the journey with us, particularly the rangatahi of EmployNZ, Whakatāne High School, Trident High School + Pohutukawa Preschool Whakatane, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Innovative Streets Programme, Bunnings Warehouse New Zealand, Stihl Shop Whakatane, Nikau Valley Farms, Whakatāne District Council, and Toi Te Ora Public Health for help with supplies, supporting the mahi, and securing the space. Not to mention all the members of our community who have encouraged us, donated seedlings, and weed-wacked, etc. 🙏🙏Lesssgo!💚💚 ... See MoreSee Less

Mōrena e te whānau! 👋👋A bit of good news on this rainy Rāhina. Our friends at Te Puna Ora o Mataatua Charitable Trust won the Ministry of Health Equity award on Saturday night! 🎉🎉Congratulations to all of the team for your hard work and leadership you show in achieving equity. We know that it takes many hands to make things happen, but it all starts within someone leading the way. 🧭🧭🧭Ka rawe! 🌈🌈Tenei te honore nui kia tātau Te Puna Ora o Mataatua i Wikitoria i tenei pō! It's an honour for Te Puna Ora o Mataatua to win the Ministry of Health Equity award tonight.This award recognises primary healthcare providers who have taken specific action to address health equity gaps in the populations they serve. We were acknowledged for our innovation in launching mobile testing units to reach our isolated whānau to provide COVID-19 testing with a whānau ora approach, and our support to the community from transportation, to hardship, social, healthcare, and kai all the way to firewood.There have been a number of organisations working hard to support Aotearoa through this hard time, and we are one of many. Huge acknowledgements to everyone inside our organisation and out who put efforts into supporting whānau, many like our team who went weeks without seeing their own families to support Mataatua in the COVID-19 Response.#manaakimataatua ...
