CULTURAL CONSULTANCY

& RANGAHAU

With a wealth of experience, our organisation partners with diverse organisations and community groups to co-design and deliver impactful projects and research. Our focus is on enhancing the wellbeing of whānau, hapū, and communities, empowering them to thrive and creating lasting, positive change. Through collaboration, we ensure that every initiative is deeply rooted in the values and needs of those we serve, fostering growth, connection, and resilience.

Guiding Cultural Connection and Understanding

The Ahipoutu Collective's cultural consultancy was truly transformative for our team. Their approach, grounded in aroha and ōranga, helped us break down barriers and build genuine connections with Māori culture in a way that felt both authentic and empowering. Their knowledge, guidance, and ability to create a safe and open space made a lasting impact on our organisation. We now feel more confident and inspired to integrate these cultural values into our work and relationships. Highly recommended!
