A Summary from the November 2023 Kaitiaki Strategic Hui
2023 has been a huge year for Tae Ora Tinana. Kaitiaki came together kanohi ki te kanohi in November 2023 to reflect and plan.

These regional hui will continue to be a focus for ToT heading into 2024, with the next one in Pōneke 4th December at 6pm at Duke of Wellington, see you there?

Over the weekend the kaitiaki met in Te Whanganui a tāra to stocktake on what ground we have made in the last three years, and how we are guiding our next steps. We took time to reflect on requests and offers that Tae Ora Tinana members made in our two online whangaungatanga hui within the last year.
