Strive Community Trust Tāne Toā

A men’s-only event for their staff designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for open talanoa about mental health and wellbeing while also celebrating their male employees. The focus is on encouraging dialogue, sharing experiences, and fostering a sense of community among men, with an emphasis on cultural respect and holistic health. We are grateful to Strive for inviting us to be part of this important kaupapa.

It Takes A Village

We were privileged to attend the It Takes A Village: Highlighting Collective Efforts to Increase Pacific Immunisations event where the Minister of Health, Hon. Simeon Brown acknowledged the efforts of Pasifika Healthcare Providers in achieving a 10% increase in immunisation rates over the past year. This event was attended by our Community Services Manager, Esmay Mulipola, who has been leading the charge for us in this space,  and Chris Faiva, our Kaiawhina. Congratulations and well done to the team at Baderdrive Community Trust and all Healthcare Providers involved in achieving this milestone.

Bari Lane Whanau Day

The Outreach Team, alongside the Whānau Ora Team, spent time with residents at the Kāinga Ora complex on Bari Lane, offering free health checks, sharing helpful resources, and connecting through kōrero. This visit was part of our ongoing efforts to extend BDCT's support within the community and to build relationships with diverse ethnic groups living in the area.
