🍂 This grassroots programme was created by Ōpōtiki whānau and community alongside CoLiberate.

We acknowledge the practitioners who have come before us – the matauranga that has come from whānau, hapū, iwi to this partnership. The atua kōrero that comes from the practitioners in our community, our iwi social support workers, our teachers, our grassroots frontline.

We acknowledge the development rōpū – Parehuia Mafi, Tutangiora Mafi, Robyn Abraham-Harris, Waha Allison-Kereopa, Harmony Martin, Sian Cass, Gemma Hiakita and Sam Rosenthall.
