Our Story
The Helensville District Health Trust (HDHT)
is a charitable trust which is well respected
for its innovative and enterprising
integrated rural health model.
History
The Trust was formed in 1989 in response to the
impending closure of Helensville’s local maternity Future Plans

be a major redevelopment of its Health Campus on

maternity care in this country and around the world.
The intention is to create a fit-for-purpose, state-of-
the-art facility that meets the health needs of the
South Kaipara community for the next 20-30 years.
The Trust will also focus on building relationships
with Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara, the Waitemata

organisations.

long-serving local doctors.
The Trust’s impact on the health and well-being of the
community grew again in 2015 when it was gifted the
old Parakai Tavern and redeveloped the site into Te
Whare Oranga ō Parakai.
The community centre, with a commercial grade
kitchen, plays host to a number of events and
educational courses and acts as a “house of
well-being” for the people of South Kaipara.
The Trust’s vision is the best possible health services
for the people of South Kaipara and it’s working hard
to achieve that goal through collaboration, evaluation
and championing the community’s needs.
Strategic Direction Vision - Moemoeā The best possible health services for people in South Kaipara Mission - Whakatakanga We enable sustainable health facilities and services for the people of South Kaipara Values – Nga Tikanga People first Accountable Sustainable Principles – Te Mau Paru Timu People are at the centre of what we do. We are accountable to our local community and recognize our particular rural situation. We value and work to strengthen partnerships with Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara, Waitemata District Health Board and other community organisations. We champion and advocate for the health of our community by identifying needs and enabling collaborative solutions. The decisions we make to improve the health of our community are innovative and pioneering while also being sustainable, relevant and evidence-based.
Te Whare Oranga ō Parakai Gift of Well-Being In 2013 the Helensville District Health Trust was gifted the former Parakai Tavern and embarked on an ambitious project, turning an old pub into a modern, professional and accessible venue. In the spirit of its vision of well-being, Te Whare Oranga ō Parakai is proudly smoke and alcohol free. It is a place where people come to meet, share, learn and thrive. Rooms for Hire The facility is accessible not just for locals, but for those looking for a venue for hire that’s within easy driving distance from Auckland and yet far from the hustle and bustle of the city. With plenty of car-parking and state-of-the-art facilities Te Whare Oranga ō Parakai has a flexible lay-out with rooms available for hire 7 days a week. A number of education providers use our rooms for teaching classes on everything from te reo Māori to small business management and horticulture. Community Asset One of the things that sets Te Whare Oranga ō Parakai apart from other community centres is its state-of-the-art commercial kitchen. It’s from this base that the Health Trust runs cooking initiatives that promote good healthy eating to our community. The Health Trust has an Events and Relationship Manager who coordinates the centre’s bookings and actively promotes it as a facility for hire and an asset to the people of South Kaipara.
Food Revolution Food is such a crucial part of our lives, far more than just our physical health and well-being. Our lives are richer for the shared experience of sitting down to enjoy a wonderful, home-cooked meal made with love and care. That’s why the kitchen at Te Whare Oranga ō Parakai is so central to our building and our philosophy. We want our kitchen to be alive with enthusiastic students — both young and old(er) — who want to learn more about how to cook creatively and healthily. Among our food-related initiatives are: • Monthly Kids’ Kitchen Cooking Classes which are hugely popular for children aged 3-12 years old. • Cooking Classes for students from local primary schools held weekly during the school term with an Around The World theme. • Operation of the Kaipara College Tuck Shop. • Catering for events and meetings held at Te Whare Oranga ō Parakai. • Soon-to-be launched project supplying meals to families leaving Helensville Birthing Centre with a newborn. “Food not only fuels our bodies, but nourishes our souls and well- being. By teaching our community the life skills of cooking and igniting a passion for real food we can help our community develop a positive relationship with food the healthier outcomes that’ll bring.” Keryn Reardon, Kitchen & Catering Manager
