A message from our chairperson
We are lucky to live in the small, friendly and beautiful Te Tauihu / Top of the South region. However, the effects of brain injury reach wide and deep. Known as an invisible injury, 1000s in our community face life-changing challenges every day. We are here to support te aronga toi whenua / a sense of belonging, helping you on a pathway to the right support. This is, in essence, our mission.
