Te Whare Manaaki team wins Health Service Award
Our Whare Manaaki Team from Te Whare Hauora o Te Aitanga a Hauiti (Hauiti Hauora) was presented with a Māori Health Service Award at Gisborne Hospital on Thursday 12 June 2025, from Health Minister Hon Simeon Brown. Led by our CEO Rina Kerekere, our Whare Manaaki team was one of seven recipients from around Aotearoa that were recognised in the 2024 Minister of Health Volunteer Awards.
The work of our team, through Cyclones Hale and Gabrielle, ensured that we could track and locate households, find out their needs and deliver to them information, resources, kai and hygiene packages, and connect them with health, social and housing services -as well as deliver a range of whakapiki wairua and oranga community events.While there are many volunteers that support this hauora workstream, there was a constant core team of 10, who were always at the forefront.
Not all of the team could attend today, but those who were present accepted the award on their behalf.Ka mau te wehi!

Te Huapae - Toi Maori, Toi Ora, Toi Hauiti
In July we launched a new initiative to wrap around the space of embracing toi Maori and wa oranga. This kaupapa included the resetting of our workspace and transformation into a community space to support our local creatives. We unveiled this reframed space with an exhibition of local established and emerging artists who whakapapa to Te Aitanga a Hauiti and who live within our rohe.
This exhibition offered a platform of reflection, reframing and resetting of visions for future for our creatives within Te Aitanga a Hauiti and the Uawa community.
A feature of this kaupapa is to also provide a space for succession planning, bringing together established, with emerging artists, including rangatahi to support and nurture future creative pathways. Te Huapae also raises awareness of healing. Healing through toi - Toi Māori, Toi Ora, Toi Hauiti.
Exhibitions will be held throughout the year, interweaving our programme, events and kaupapa.
