Building on the success of previous Te Anau Waitangi Day events, the Te Anau Waitangi Charitable Trust was formally established in July 2021.

The four founding trustees have a strong history with the Waitangi Day event, with an additional 5 committee members to support the kaupapa.

The group has been busy with the goal of creating opportunities for our community to come together in the spirit of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Their mahi includes liaising with funders, community partners and Ngā Herenga Waka Kapa Haka, coordinating guest artists and workshops, attending planning meetings, and leading a larger group of volunteers.
