Supporters of Tauawhi Men's Centre marked its 10-year milestone with a celebration yesterday at Te Wananga o Aotearoa's Whirikoka campus.
“It was a great day for us to acknowledge those who have supported us over the last 10 years and some of the men on the journey,” centre co-ordinator TimMarshall said.
About 80 people attended. Among those honoured was Mr Marshall himself.
“It was very humbling to be acknowledged,” he said.
The centre provides counselling and social work services for men, with the aim of contributing to positive change for them and their whanau. Full coverage of the celebration will be in tomorrow's Gisborne Herald.
