Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust is part of the Wairoa Wellness Network, set up to support our Wairoa community as we navigate the health, social, cultural and economic impacts of COVID-19. The network at any one time includes local health and social services providers, Civil Defence, social organisations, iwi, hapū, businesses, local and national government – all working together for our community. This includes emphasising good information and future planning for and by our Wairoa community.

Nigel How, member of the Wairoa Wellness Network, Chair of the Kaumātua Council of Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust and Ngāti Kahungunu Wairoa Taiwhenua Incorporated, has put together a pānui update covering the following important topics:

Whānau, the changes to our tangihanga practices during Alert Level 4 might be difficult to absorb. Yes, it is all a change to our normal tikanga, but we need to do all we can to overcome COVID-19.   

We encourage you to read this pānui and to contact us if you have any pātai.
