Our Vision, Mission and Values
As we begin our next century of support, the Mission is committed to become a great Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner, embracing all that means. The Mission is blessed with a Māori name – Te Tāpui Atawhai. To honour that name, we formally became a place where two people belong, and recognised our place in the restoration needed to move forward as one country of two founding peoples.
To find out more about how the Mission supports people, please check out our What we do section.
We promise to continue our work for 100 years to come, truly honouring our city, our country as a place founded by two peoples.
