VOYCE – Whakarongo Mai is the lucky recipient of NZ Post’s ‘Delivering for Good’ opportunity at a time where connection is more important than ever.

The delivery service created the initiative to help not-for-profit organisations achieve social impact within their communities.

NZ Post’s free courier services will be supporting VOYCE in sending care packages, including products like shampoo, stickers and notepads, to the tamariki and rangatahi entering care each month.

Thank you, NZ Post, for your generosity that enables us to connect more easily with the care experienced community, especially during lockdowns when we can’t be together physically but want tamariki and rangatahi to know we’re still here for them.

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.
