About the Partnership

TAKA Trust

The Trust’s focus is to help kids who come from Lower Hutt’s Northern and Eastern Communities (we refer to this area as the North East). The Trust assists these tamariki living in challenged high deprivation communities such as Taita and Pomare to access opportunities, learning and experiences that will make a life-changing difference.

TAKA Trust aim is to address inequality for young people by providing them with access to the things that matter - modern learning, sport, arts,events and other opportunities that make a meaningful difference.
