Network of Trades

Looking forward to 2025

It feels like it has been a long-time coming, but we are in the home stretch to having amazing new healthcare facilities. In 2025 we will see the opening of the New East Wing Building, Taranaki Cancer Centre and Te Puna Wai Kātea Mental Health Rehabilitation Facility – all major upgrades to Taranaki Base Hospital.

We would like to thank everyone that has supported our fundraising efforts so far. We have seen fantastic in-kind support for the landscaping of Te Puna Wai Kātea. The landscaping has no dedicated funding from the building project, but because of the amazing support from local businesses it will go ahead and have a huge positive impact on those that are using the Mental Health Rehabilitation Facility. We have also seen amazing support from local businesses who have sponsored rooms throughout the hospital. Thank you to everyone that has been involved so far.

There is still more to be done, and now is the time to do it. The more we can fundraise before the new units are opened, the more impact donations will have. It is cheaper and more efficient to install new equipment now rather than in two- or three-years’ time. By donating today, or committing to providing in-kind services, you will be helping to provide an enhanced healthcare service for the region that will make a continued impact for years to come. And right now, we need that support more than ever.

Great things don’t happen to us. They happen because of us. The development at Taranaki Base Hospital is a great thing – and with your support we can make them the best for the region.

If you would like to make a difference where it matters most, speak to Heather or Grant at the next Network off Trades event. Or alternatively send an email to heather@thf.org.nz or grant@thf.org.nz They’d love to have a chat.

A message from re/charge

We are really pleased to have linked up with Taranaki Health Foundation and the Chamber to support the Network of Trades events. We have a deep passion for helping trades business owners in all aspects of their business and we are getting some amazing results which we are really proud of. We would encourage any trades related business owner to get in touch as we would really appreciate the opportunity to sit down and have a chat about how we may be able to help!

We have had a great year of Network of Trades and have met loads of our local Taranaki Trades business owners. We wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and look forward to connecting in the new year. Remember to reach out if you require any assistance with all things accounting, advisory and wellness in the trades.

As well as our trades related accounting and advisory, we offer Men’s Wellness Retreats. These are a fantastic way to unwind, take a breather and just reset the mind and body over four days. There are some really helpful and practical activities, including knifemaking, hunting, gathering, meditation/yoga, breathwork, cooking and so much more.

We are always available for a chat, and the coffees are on us!
