Our Home Visiting Service is a kaupapa Māori initiative supporting pāpā through whakawhanaungatanga in their own space. Referred internally by kaimahi, it’s tailored for pāpā who may find group settings challenging or unable to leave home due to caregiving or other commitments. We focus on building connection, confidence, and pathways into wider services and community engagement.
We also have a pēpi pod recycling scheme to protect Papatūānuku from the impact of more plastics entering our environment. Pēpi pods can be returned to our office at level 3, 7 Winston Ave, Papanui on Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 5pm
