Takiri Mai te Ata Whānau Ora Collective - Takiri Mai te Ata Whānau Ora Collective came about when Whānau Ora was created in response to a recognition by Government that standard ways of delivering social and health services was not working and outcomes particularly for Māori whānau were not improving.
In 2010, Whānau Ora was launched as an innovative whānau-centred approach to supporting whānau wellbeing and development. The development of Whānau Ora occurred after the Taskforce on Whānau-Centred Initiatives presented a report to Government in 2009. The report has provided the framework for Whānau Ora development throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
The implementation of Whānau Ora has occurred in two phases:
Phase One of Whānau Ora (2010 - 2014) , focused on building the capability of providers to deliver whānau-centred services. More... | |

Kōkiri Marae - Mission Statement
KA HAERE TONU NGĀ AKORANGA O RĀTOU MĀ, MŌ AKE TONU AKE
The premises occupied by Kokiri Marae at 7–9 Barnes Street, Seaview was built by the American Government during the second world war as a storage shed and then later sold to the New Zealand Government.
In 1977 Kara Puketapu was appointed as the Secretary of Māori Affairs and was instrumental in implementing the Tū Tangata Policy. The policy centered on community based Māori development, the promotion of Māori cultural and economic advancement through encouraging self reliance and self determination.
Central to the initial Tū Tangata implementation, the approach was to set up a network of Kōkiri centres, the first of which was set up here at Kōkiri Seaview in 1979. As the First Kōkiri Centre, the focus was on working to address issues of unemployment, gangs, high involvement in the justice system, low academic achievement as well as cultural knowledge and participation in the economy.
