Community Support Services in Mangawhai
Our vision is a thriving Mangawhai, where all members of our community are supported, well and connected through every stage of life.
Since 2015, we've
helped thousands
of people in
Mangawhai.
We’re always ready
to listen, whether
you need support
or can offer it.
Based at Te Whai Community House in Moir Street, Te Whai Community Trust is a hub for helping people in Mangawhai access specific services and support. We exist to make Mangawhai a great place for everyone, including more vulnerable members of our wonderful community.
Our much-needed community support services are wide reaching. We provide emergency food parcels (aroha baskets), support for older people to tackle isolation and loneliness, parenting support, wellbeing programmes (Te Awatea), driver training and te reo Māori classes.
Te Whai Community House is a Heartland Service Centre, hosting a broad range of external services including Work and Income and Inland Revenue clinics, financial mentoring, employment services, counselling, playgroups, parenting groups and more.
Our work is funded by local business sponsors, individual donors, grants and fundraising initiatives.
Why We Exist
Mangawhai is one of the fastest growing communities in New Zealand. Our population has increased at a rate of 5.5 per cent on average for the five years to 2024, compared with 1.4 per cent on average for the rest of New Zealand (Infometrics).
Mangawhai’s growth is creating opportunities, but it also brings problems. Some people in our community face barriers to basic services like food, social support, mental health care and social connection. At Te Whai Community Trust, we’re working to make sure no one gets left behind while Mangawhai gets ahead.
Te Whai Community House is a Heartland Service Centre providing a diverse range of services and clinics each week to support the wellbeing and resilience of our Mangawhai community.
Heartland Services provide rural communities with the opportunity to engage with key services within their own communities.
