WALK FOR
WELLBEING
Ka Pou Whenua, Kia Piki Te Ora, and Poutini Waiora had the privilege of hosting and witnessing a heartwarming journey, where our West Coast community took time out of their day to invest in their hauora (wellbeing) and tuakiri (identity)
A day to showcase the importance of collective action and investment in our mental health and the first step of many into a healthier future for all.
