Our Partners
We believe in the power of partnership. It is one of the five core values which underpins our work. Te Whakaora has a close working relationship with a number of organisations and we are always open to working with others who share our vision and values.
For us, partnership starts at the grassroots – listening to our community, responding to needs, learning together and refining our approach accordingly. Collaborating with other organisations strengthens our offering, and our vital partnership with funders makes Te Whakaora’s work possible.
