Te Whangai Trust
The Journey so Far.....
Join us and visit Te Whangai Trust who recently won the Not for Profit Category and the Waikato Sustainable Business for 2009.
Te Whangai Trust founders Gary and Adrienne Dalton manage a native plant nursery in Miranda employing at-risk members of the community and encourage them to become positive about their contribution to society.
The charitable trust, founded in 2007, has developed a unique business model that is comprised of revenue and self-sufficiency through the native plant nursery and the social aspect of giving employees a hand up and getting them back on their feet into full-time employment. Every dollar spent in Te Whangai contributes to the environment, saves a dollar from welfare and reduces the need for mental health and associated social services.
We invite you to come and meet the people of Te Whangai and see this fabulous CSR / Environmental business in action.
Venue: 945 Findlay Road Miranda
Time: 8-to approx 12/1pm
Te Whangai have organised a courtesy van that can pick guests up from Wintec Hamilton at 7.45am please note seats are limited.
RSVP: Waikato@sustainable.org.nz by 30 November 2009
