Presbyterian Support Kaiāwhina Deidre Carroll and Hutika Crofts-Gibbs approach their work in a culturally sensitive way when helping kaumātua, fostering whakawhānaungtanga by making connections and acknowledging whakapapa.
This and other culturally appropriate values are integral to the work they do every day and was evident recently when the pair where able to help kaumātua, one of whom has a medical condition.
Neil* and Rui* had medical appointments at Christchurch Hospital and the logistics of travel and finding suitable parking was a heavy burden for the pair.
