Our Mission

Kia tūtuki ai ngā moemoea me ngā wawata
Whāriki! The essence of interweaving the supports for tāngata to live tino rangatiratanga.

Te Roopu Taurima recognises that achieving a good life for those we support requires the interweaving of many – providing tika (correctness), pono (honesty), and aroha (compassion) in all we do.

Our Vision

Titiro whakamua, ngā moemoea mō āpōpō
Tāngata Tū Tāngata Ora, Whānau Tū Whānau Ora

We strive to place tāngata at the heart of our services and to ensure their whānau are central to the support provided. Our vision aligns with the Enabling Good Lives (EGL) principles, ensuring that tāngata and their whānau receive the best possible care and support.

Our Core Values | Ngā Mātāpono

Our strategy is grounded in our core values, which guide everything we do:

Whānaungatanga – Engagement/Networking
Tika – Correctness/Quality
Whakapono – Trust
Aroha – Compassion
Kia Mārama – Transparency

Together, these values reflect our commitment to empowering tāngata and their whānau.
