Te Whare Koha
Te Whare Koha is a multipurpose community hub designed to help people in Highbury, help themselves. Te Whare Koha is the brain child of Te Roopu Oranga O Highbury (The group for wellbeing in Highbury).
Our focus is to help reduce the impact of poverty by giving the community the opportunity to find its own solutions.
We improve access to food, health services, youth projects and kaumatua support among other things.
