Kahungunu Executive ki Te Wairoa Charitable Trust  

​

In 1995, the Kahungunu Executive ki Te Wairoa Charitable Trust (KE) was registered and the two initial trustees were appointed. A Committee of Management was set up to oversee operations and by the end of the decade the Trust had expanded its range of health services to include Mental Health, Primary Care, Tamariki Ora, Health Promotion and Education and Nursing/Clinical services. The trust also entered into a joint venture to establish a GP practice, Health Care Centre, and went on to own that practice. However, the GP practice is no longer a service we provide.   ​

The trust has also expanded into other areas and acquired contracts with ACC, CYFS, MSD, MMD, HNZC and HBDHB over time.  Today, KE Trust has over 75 personnel (including casuals), operates out of seven different sites to deliver the range of sservices that it provides to the people of the Wairoa district. 

​

KE Trust continues to operate as an entity under the Māori Community Development Act in its role to promote the social, cultural and economic development of Whānau and Hapū in the greater Wairoa community.
