Healthy Families Hutt Valley are proud to release the Healthy Families NZ: 10 Years of Impact Report. ‘Reshaping our systems for a healthier Aotearoa New Zealand’ is a report demonstrating the impact and outcomes realised by Healthy Families NZ over the past decade. It highlights how our innovative prevention initiative has made an impact in many forms; from impacting people and communities to partners, policies and systems. It is a measure of our collective growth, progressive wins and a celebration of the countless hands leading healthy change that brings our Healthy Families NZ movement to life. We welcome the opportunity to share this report with you showcasing examples of locally-led initiatives and action being taken to support communities to think differently about healthier physical and social environments where we live, learn, work and play.

We're excited to share the installation of 14 new storyboards at Walter Nash Park, designed to enhance physical activity and community connection. 📖🌿 These interactive storyboards, created in partnership with Community Organisation Common Ground, aim to bring local stories, movement and learning into everyday life. Common Ground will act as kaitiaki (guardians) of these evolving narratives going forward. On Wednesday our community came together to celebrate the launch of the storyboards, with award-winning author and storyteller, Moira Wairama reading the first pūrakau - The Taniwha of Wellington Harbour. A big thank you to everyone involved, and to Community Weaver, Whaea Sue and the Common Ground team for hosting the opening event. Ready the full story ➡ link in bio.

Te Mana o Te Kai Regional Food Sovereignty and Security Systems Plan wānanga 🌱 Yesterday we were able to share community insights that are currently impacting kai systems in this region to various stakeholders, councils, community groups and iwi to progress mahi happening in the Regional Food Systems Strategy. A kai system that is physically, spiritually and socially nourishing is fundamental for upholding the mana and wellbeing of our communities. The relationships built and the knowledge shared at yesterday's wānanga will continue to guide us to drive transformative change across our food systems.
