About Us
About us
Te Whare Koha Highbury was launched in 2015, by the people of the Highbury community for the people of the Highbury community. We are a registered charity that offers free food, clothing and homeware to anyone in our community. Our kaupapa is to provide a community driven independent organisation to improve the health and well being of the Highbury community. Our principles are based on the whānau ora values such as: manaakitanga (respect), whanaungatanga (social connections), kotahitanga (unity), awhi (support) and mana whenua (where you belong).
Te Whare Koha is a place to:
Improve access to the right service. Share what's happening in our community. Find peer support and develop skills. Be involved in community development. Enhance the knowledge and skills of whānau to better enable them to overcome health and social issues. Use the guiding whānau ora values and principles to benefit all people in our community.
What we can help with
