Matariki 2024 Celebrations

Mānawatia a Matariki! In the spirit of this year's theme - Matariki heri kai - Dame Cindy and Dr Davies welcomed some of The Auckland City Mission's street whānau and staff to Government House Auckland to share a hāngī lunch, and to enjoy a concert by the Harmonic Resonators. The Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai has provided wrap-around support for Aucklanders in need for over 100 years, working towards ending food insecurity, enabling access to housing, administering very low-cost healthcare, and providing drug and alcohol detox and mental health support to people and families of greatest need. Last year, they provided over 50,000 food parcels, 20,000 low-cost health consultations and 480 housing solutions for people when they need it most. To learn more about the important work the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai does, go to their website.
