What does Te Whangai do to gain support in the local community?
Local business skills and services are used as much as possible. This allows community members to experience firsthand what can be achieved. Volunteers from the local community are encouraged to come and work alongside our team members. Volunteers then can answer questions about Te Whangai in the local community, based on their personal experience. This dispels fear of the unknown. Our local marae is involved. Representatives of local government and civic organisations are invited to come for visits, to see firsthand how Te Whangai works.
