Supergrans Tairāwhiti run community-based education initiatives and workshops including general life skills, basic cooking and sewing, and preparation for employment, to help whanau move from hardship and trauma to well-being. They also have a koha shed of donated household items such as beds, clothes and blankets available for free to people in need.
Supergrans applied to Sunrise for assistance to purchase an enclosed trailer as they were continuously finding they needed to help move whanau in crisis to new homes. In order to help they had to beg and borrow trailers from family and friends, or do multiple trips in their own personal vehicles.
That’s all in the past now they have a new trailer purchased with the help of a grant from Sunrise.
The super duper new trailer will also be a big help delivering raised gardens to the elderly and picking up fruit and vegetables to distribute to other community organisations.
