Child Rich Communities – Dec 2024

Kia ora e te whānau, 

As the calendar year draws to a close and summer begins, we hope you can find moments of ease and reflection in the warmth of these long days. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas with whānau or taking some time for yourself, it’s a chance to recharge and focus on what helps us and our communities thrive.

This year, Child Rich Communities has been on a journey of connection and learning. We’ve explored topics like supporting Mauri ora in rangatahi, systems change in the early years, and empowering our young people to lead. Behind the scenes, alongside our partners, Plunket, Wesley Community Action, Presbyterian Support Northern, Anglican Care Waiapu,Christchurch Methodist Mission and Inspiring Communities, we’ve been planning a Learning Cluster engagement with four sites across Aotearoa… read on for more information!

Wherever you are this summer, let’s carry the strength of our kōtahitanga and the gift it brings for our tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau.

Meri Kirihimete!
