Community Breakfast 2025

Two weeks ago, we had the privilege of hosting our annual community breakfast with local stakeholders, where we came together over shared values and a collective commitment to the wellbeing of rangatahi in Puketāpapa. It was a powerful and uplifting morning filled with meaningful kōrero, where community leaders, educators, youth workers, and organisations gathered to discuss how we can better support our young people, uplift their voices, and ensure they have access to safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces.

The morning was more than just a breakfast, it was a collaborative exchange of ideas and aspirations. It was heartening to see so many different parts of our community come together with open minds and a genuine interest to listen, learn, and find way for a better future for youth. The people in the room reflected the passion we all share for building strong, supportive networks around our young people, and the importance of continuing to work together to break down barriers and create opportunities.

A huge thank you to Pah Homestead & Hillhouse Cafe for the delicious kai and the stunning surroundings that showcased local creativity and culture. The beautiful setting added to the sense of connection and inspiration, reminding us of the rich talent and potential within our own community.
