Prior to establishing the Hauora Adelaide sought permission from Te Rūnunga o Tūwharetoa ki Kawerau to use the Iwi name “Tūwharetoa ki Kawerau”. Permission was granted to do this and it was agreed that the Trust would operate as an autonomous entity. In 2002 the Trust changed its name to Tūwharetoa ki Kawerau Health, Education and Social Services Trust.
Since its inception the Trust has been serving the people residing within Kawerau and the wider Eastern Bay of Plenty community providing Health, Education and Social Services. Tūwharetoa Ki Kawerau Health, Education & Social Services Trust is a registered charitable entity. For more information visit the Charities Register at www.charities.govt.nz
