🌟 This week we had the privilege of hosting some of the incredible Driving Change Community organisations.

The Driving Change hui is an amazing kaupapa where different community groups come together to āwhina whānau on their journey to getting a licence, opening doors to opportunity, independence, and confidence.

Ngā mihi nui to Wendy from Driving Change for joining us and tautoko the Te Tau Ihu (Top of the South Island) community organisations.

It was a special time to connect, share ideas, and strengthen relationships. He waka eke noa, we’re all in this together. 💙
