Board Chair
Te Kauri Wiremu
Tēnā tātou, ko Te Kauri Wiremu tōku ingoa, he uri au nō ngā iwi o Ngāpuhi, ō Ngāti Tūwharetoa hoki. Engari I tipu ake au ki Ōtautahi.
Kia ora! My name is Te Kauri. I’ve had the immense privilege to a part of Home & Family first as a Board Member and now as Chair. I joined Home & Family because I was inspired by the work that our fabulous team does and how the team rallies around each other in what can be a challenging space. It is humbling to be a part of an organization with legacy of good, meaningful work that contributes to our community
Patron
Phillip Duval
I arrive at this point in my Home and Family journey after years on the Board and as President.
I bring to the job of Patron a deep and profoundly meaningful understanding of the importance of the work we do and the tasks at hand on a day-to-day basis.
To continue to be part of an inspirational team of consummate professionals driven by a conscientious and overriding passion to serve their community with care, quiet dedication and passion is truly a privilege and an honour for me.
As Home and Family Patron I will strive to bring with me to the role the dignity, the presence, the compassion and the commitment that this organisation for change wholeheartedly deserves.
I’m pleased to do what I can to help every child reach for the stars.
