A wonderful opportunity to share and care together.

💛 Mate Wareware Dementia Support & Education Wānanga 💛



We wish to awhi Ngāti Maniapoto Marae PACT Trust upcoming wānanga.

Our communities are ageing fast. In Hauraki, around 30% of people are now over 65 (up from 27% in 2018).

Areas like Thames to Whitianga and Waihi are seeing the highest numbers of kaumātua in the Tainui waka rohe.

As demand for support grows, whānau-led mātauranga is more important than ever.

🌿 Nau mai, haere mai – come along and be supported 🌿
