Takitimu House (The Tauranga Moana Night Shelter Trust) provides homeless men in Tauranga Moana temporary shelter and access to services designed to break the cycle of homelessness. Their team walks alongside the men who use the shelter to begin rebuilding their lives.

Takitimu House provides safe, warm accommodation and services for homeless men, and receives funding from Acorn donors who decided to leave their fund unrestricted, meaning they have not named specific charities.

The Acorn Distributions Committee supported by staff, read applications, review financials and meet with applicants to determine the best allocation of unrestricted funds. Since 2015, Takitimu House has received $119,249 in funding from 12 Acorn funds with the largest contributions from the Joan Chappell-Mathias Fund, Lloyd & Kath Christie Fund and Craigs Investment Partners Community Fund.

Takitimu House has been chosen as a recipient by Craigs Investment Partners Christmas Giving Programme six years in a row to support men on their journey toward healing and independence.

We feel privileged that Craigs Investment Partners continue to acknowledge and support our organisation and the lovely men we are here to serve. ” - Annamarie Angus, Takitimu House

Individuals are supported to reach for their goals no matter how big or small. The team operates with a ‘whatever it takes’ philosophy.
