Reclamation and Reconnection

Ngāti Māhanga whānau

Integral to realising the vision of the Reclaiming Pūtoetoe project are reclamation workshops with Ngāti Māhanga whānau. Funded by WEL Energy Trust and held at the Raglan Holiday Park Papahua, spots in these workshops filled within hours.

Sustained by delicious kai, space was created for whānau to come together to learn, kōrero, connect and dream.

Whānau walked the whenua, listening, seeing and feeling, as they actively reclaimed and reconnected to their whenua, tūpuna and stories.

“We want people to understand why this whenua matters”

Raglan Naturally Community Trust played an important role in the start-up phase of Raglan Refill. Opening its doors in March 2024, Raglan Refill is the newest social enterprise on the block in Raglan - a community-led, non-profit, zero-waste grocery.
Raglan Naturally Community Trust partnered with the Whāingaroa Raglan Destination Management Organisation (WRDMO) to transform and restore the town's iconic water reservoir tower.
Volunteers don’t just donate their time - they build relationships, share knowledge, and bring energy, skills, manaaki and aroha. With more than 65 local organisations relying on volunteers, they are the beating heart of Whāingaroa Raglan. Raglan Naturally Community Trust brings our volunteer community together to celebrate the amazing mahi they do.

We would love to hear from you.
