He mihi nui, he mihi aroha to our Mayor Tim Macindoe for sharing such warm words about our 85th Anniversary celebrations at Te Puna o Te Ora.
It means so much to have the support of our city’s leadership, our funders, tuakana, supporters, friends and whānau as we honour 85 years of manaakitanga, and the lasting legacy of the founders of Te Puna o Te Ora and Rauawaawa's Founding Trustee and Chairman Matua Owen Purcell QSM, whose name now graces our largest social room.
Moments like these remind us why this special place continues to stand strong for our community and Kaumātua, past, present and future.
There’s still more of this beautiful day to share… keep an eye out, something special is coming soon 🌿

85 Years of Legacy.
85 Years of Manaakitanga. ❤️
On Friday, we honoured 85 years of Te Puna o Te Ora and unveiled a special naming plaque recognising our Founding Trustee and Chairman, Matua Owen Purcell QSM.
A heartfelt mihi to Te Kōhao Health for capturing these beautiful moments and helping us tell this story.
For 85 years, generations of people have built more than a place. They created a community where people could gather, connect, support one another, and belong. Their vision became our foundation.
Today, we carry that responsibility forward, serving the Kaumātua of today while protecting this legacy for the generations to come.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we also look ahead.
The next chapter of Te Puna o Te Ora is about to begin. Eighty-five years ago, others created a legacy for us. Soon, an opportunity will be announced to help shape the legacy we leave for those who follow.
