Join the B+LNZ Eastern North Island Extension team and many others on November 10, 2023, in Hawke's Bay for an unforgettable afternoon filled with unity, support, laughter, and learning. In a year defined by unprecedented challenges, the resilient Hawke’s Bay community has shown incredible strength. Now, it's our time to come together, share stories, enjoy some fun and laughter with friends, and, most importantly, stand behind the Rural Support Trust Hawke's Bay.
#MATESofMATESforMATES (#MOM4M) began with a simple press-up challenge during the 2020 lockdown. Today, it's a movement driven by friends sharing their journeys and supporting one another. Let's give #MOM4M wings and support our mates while contributing to a great cause.
You'll have the chance to hear from inspiring individuals like Matt Chisholm, local farmer Matt Holden, David Todd (Toddy), and others who will guide us in embracing the Five Ways to Wellbeing: Give, Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning.
Join us in supporting #MATESofMATESforMATES & the rural community in the Hawke’s Bay.
