Tāne Tu, Tāne Ora men's health and wellbeing event is returning to Tairāwhiti with a range of activities, including a jiu jitsu session. It runs from November 17-22.

Following the success of its inaugural weekend last year, Tāne Tū, Tāne Ora is returning, bringing together free activities and experiences designed to strengthen men’s wellbeing and sense of belonging.

Delivered through a partnership between Whiti Ora Tairāwhiti and Hikitia! Tāne Ora Tairāwhiti, the kaupapa encourages men to get involved, try something new and connect with others.

This year’s programme features a range of options from surfing and saunas to fitness classes, golf, chess and ukulele for beginners.

At its heart, Tāne Tū, Tāne Ora recognises wellbeing is about more than physical health, organisers said. It is about creating spaces where men feel comfortable showing up and looking after themselves and one another.

Wade Manson, the kaiārahi hapori/community lead at Whiti Ora Tairāwhiti, said: “Last year showed us just how much appetite there is for opportunities like this. It’s about removing barriers, making activities accessible and giving our tāne the chance to connect, move and enjoy themselves. We’re excited to build on that momentum alongside our community partners.”

The kaupapa also reflects a commitment to preventing harm by strengthening the relationships and protective factors that support healthy men and whānau.

“When we talk about prevention, we’re talking about creating the conditions for our tāne to thrive,” Tāne Ora Tairāwhiti community strategist Jeremy Muir said.

“Sometimes that starts with something as simple as getting together, having a laugh, trying something different or finding a place where you belong. Those moments of connection matter, and they have a ripple effect across our whānau and communities.”
