We’ve had some beautiful success stories here at Heartlands recently, hosting a Child First Aid Course, helping people apply for their Community Services card, helping tamariki with their te reo and so much more!
As we approach our two-year anniversary, we know that not everyone yet understands what we can offer the community, so we thought now was a good time to re-explain our kaupapa!
We are part of REAP Wairarapa, and funded by MSD to provide free support to the rural South Wairarapa community.
