How your donation helps to support our community
Te Whai Community Trust is the heart of wellbeing and social services based in Mangawhai, providing essential support to those in need.
Our services include well-being coaching, social worker consultations, occupational therapy for children, youth work, parenting support, playgroups, support for older people to address isolation and loneliness, driver training, and distribution of food parcels for those facing food insecurity.
Much of our work within the Mangawhai community is completed with little sustainable funding. We rely on donations and grants from organisations, businesses, and individuals to run our services.
