With a mission to Build Strong Kids, Strong Families and a Strong Gisborne/Tairawhiti Community we put into practice programmes that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child, when our community comes together for the common good and when our values of Caring, Respect, Honesty and Responsibility are enhanced
