A Community-Led Movement for Porirua
Porirua: the best place to raise a whānau
Porirua is home to a resilient and diverse community. At Te Wāhi Tiaki Tātou (TWTT), we believe that community well-being is achieved when everyone has access to what they need to thrive. We are a movement powered by the voices, strengths, and aspirations of our people. By listening to our community and working in partnership with iwi, grassroot organisations, funders, and government, we are transforming the way services support whānau.

Our Mahi in Action
Explore some of our community-led initiatives where local voices shape change for whānau and place.
Manaaki Māmā
Co-designed Videos
What started as a conversation with young māmā about how to make pregnancy information easier to access has grown into a series of videos created with our local māmā, sharing practical advice and celebrating their strengths and experiences.
Local Commissioning
By Porirua, For Porirua
How can local knowledge, relationships and resources work better together for whānau? Through our local commissioning discovery and design work with the Social Investment Agency (SIA), we’re exploring how communities can have a stronger say in the support and investment that shapes well-being in Porirua.
F Meth
You are not alone
The F. Meth campaign is about celebrating strength in resistance to meth, looking out for the people around us, and making sure people know where they can get support.
