VOYCE – Whakarongo Mai was proud to support tamariki and rangatahi from Oranga Tamariki Supervised Group Homes to take part in this year’s City2Surf – the South Island’s largest fun run.

With generous support from Sport Canterbury, we covered entry fees and helped our young people get kitted out and ready to take on either the 6km or 12km course. The route followed the stunning Ōtākaro Trail through Christchurch, finishing up at Rawhiti Domain.

It was an epic day to get active, try something new, and soak up the energy of a huge community event. We’re so proud of everyone who gave it a go – especially those repping VOYCE in their t-shirts!

Whānau care is where a child is being raised by someone in their whānau or extended family. Often it means a child living with their grandparents – but could also be another family member like an aunt, uncle or older sibling. Whāngai is the traditional Māori practice of whānau care.
