A PLACE TO BE YOURSELF Whanau, youth hub opening realises trust’s dream by Matai O’Connor

THE Atawhai Charitable Trust Whanau and Youth Hub, a space for rangatahi and whanau to be themselves, was officially opened by the trustees and those connected to the trust on Friday. Atawhai Charitable Trust was established in response to calls to support rangatahi who were disengaged from education. The focus is to assist rangatahi, with their whanau in support, to set and realise goals and to give them a challenge they would not normally get to do. The vision of Atawhai is for whanau and community to thrive in a safe, inclusive and dynamic Tairawhiti. Atawhai runs multiple groups and programmes such as Qmmunity Youth Gisborne, Tuakana Teina, Rangatahi Leadership, Kokiri Kai Community Mara (garden), Tairawhiti Mana Wahine and Maia Poroaki.
