Tirohanga: realising a legacy with a place of peace and calm

The Team from Momentum Waikato

The creation of Tirohanga - the Houchen Wellness Space is the story of a family’s legacy to their community being able to flower to its full potential, thanks to a smart partnership between two innovative local organisations.

Tirohanga, located in Glenview on the south-western edge of Kirikiriroa-Hamilton, is a place of peace and calm where people can restore themselves to wellness and get support to rejuvenate.
It has been established and is operated by Wise Group, in partnership with Momentum Waikato, the guardian of the Houchen family’s vision for the site.

Wise Group’s Operations Manager Erana Severne says Tirohanga is a first, delivering wellness services in a way that hasn’t been done before.
“Healing is the cornerstone,” says Erana, “Tirohanga is a healthy and safe environment to find a sense of belonging and connection."

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.

Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause? Tell us in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
