TE WHARE WHAKARURUHAU O TE PUNA ARIKI
What is this kaupapa about?
Te Whare Whakaruruhau o Te Puna Ariki marks a powerful new chapter in the growth of our intergenerational movement. With its doors now open, this space represents a major milestone in bringing our vision, mission, and long-term strategy to life. We now shift into the space of transforming aspiration into a living, breathing place that gives form and focus to our kaupapa.
As Te Puna Ariki’s centre for intergenerational empowerment and wellbeing, Te Whare Whakaruruhau is a place where whakaaro becomes action and the potential of our people is nurtured across generations. More than a building, it is a physical expression of our commitment to a better future, grounded in kaupapa Māori and driven by the next generation. We are proud to welcome whānau into this space and invite all those who share our vision for a stronger, more hopeful tomorrow for our tamariki-mokopuna to walk alongside us.

“What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. “
“What sets us apart isn’t just our process, it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn. That’s what make this space special”
Nā, Te Rika Temara-Benfell - Chief Executive Officer
