COVID-19 SUPPORT
We know there’s a lot of noise out there about the virus. So here’s a list of organisations that are nationwide, to help you quickly access information and support. You can also search locally on the Iwi/ Regional Support page.
During the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) rāhui, marae have closed their doors and whānau have been asked to keep inside their bubble. This is not an easy thing to do.
It has impacted all of us, in many ways such as loss of income and other massive challenges. However, don't be whakamā to ask for help or support if you need it.
He waka eke noa - we are all in this together.
