Event Details
Small team. Big difference. Real impact for Hawke’s Bay whānau.
Join us to celebrate five years of Pregnancy Help Hastings & Napier supporting wāhine hapū and whānau across our community — and be part of what comes next.
We are proud to feature Dr Russell Wills as our keynote speaker. A Hawke’s Bay paediatrician, former Children’s Commissioner, and current Chair of the Paediatric Society of New Zealand Child Protection Clinical Network, Dr Wills has a strong interest in intersectoral community interventions for children and young people with complex medical, behavioural, and family needs — issues that affect families across our region and the services that support them.
We are also honoured to welcome kōrero from Kerri Nuku , a globally recognised leader in Indigenous nursing, whose advocacy and leadership have placed Aotearoa on the international stage for decades. A proud Māori woman who grew up in Napier, Kerri brings a deep understanding of Indigenous health through her work as a registered nurse and midwife, having supported hundreds of mokopuna Māori into the world.
Her Worship Mayor Wendy Schollum will be in attendance, we are grateful to her for recognising the importance of strong local partnerships and grassroots organisations making a difference where it matters most.
