Vinnies Tamaki Makaurau is a Catholic Faith-based organisation dedicated to supporting individuals and whānau (families) in Central and South Auckland by providing compassionate care, resources, and services that address their needs.
We strive to empower communities, promote social justice, and foster a sense of belonging for all, while honouring the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We have a special focus on our Pasifika communities, recognising their unique cultures and needs.
We approach every individual with empathy and kindness, understanding the challenges they face and offering support without judgment, reflecting the caring spirit inherent in Te Tiriti.
We value the dignity of every person, honouring their unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We acknowledge the importance of Māori culture and rights as outlined in Te Tiriti, and we strive to incorporate these principles into all our interactions, with a special emphasis on respecting Pasifika cultures.
We commit to being honest and transparent in our actions and relationships, building trust with the communities we serve, including recognition of the Crown’s responsibility under Te Tiriti to protect and support Māori and Pasifika communities.
We believe in empowering individuals and families to take charge of their lives, providing them with the tools and resources they need to thrive. This empowerment extends to ensuring Māori and Pasifika peoples have the opportunities to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes.
We advocate for the rights and needs of vulnerable populations, working to raise awareness of social issues and promote systemic change. We are committed to advocating for the rights and interests of both Māori and Pasifika communities, aligning our efforts with the principles of Te Tiriti.
We foster strong connections within the community, encouraging collaboration and support among individuals, families, and local organisations. We recognise the importance of working together with Māori and Pasifika communities, respecting their roles as key partners in our collective efforts.
Through our mission and values, Vinnies Tamaki Makaurau aims to create a more just and inclusive society where everyone, including Māori and Pasifika, has the opportunity to live with dignity and hope. We are committed to upholding the values of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all our efforts to serve the community.
