What is the kaumatua day care programme?

The purpose of this programme is to support & assist our koroua and kuia to 

live active healthy lifestyles within our community.  By interacting and socializing 

within the community, kaumatua and their contribution are celebrated.  This 

service provides a variety of activities, guest speakers and health promotions to 

keep kaumatua engaged.  

Twice a week participants meet in Maketu to enjoy a variety of activities and lunch 

every Tuesday at Whakaue Marae and Thursday at Maketu Fishermans Club 

from 9.30am to 1.30pm,   Transport is also available to and from the programme
