Nominations for the 2025 Excellence in Foster Care Awards have just opened, of which Kia Puāwai is a proud sponsor. Caring Families Aotearoa has been holding the Excellence in Foster Care Awards annually since 2007.
Earlier this year, one of Kia Puāwai's carers - Te Ahuru Ruri (Joe) won an award. The panel commented that Joe is known for his calm and gentle nature, and his ability to establish trusting and supportive relationships with the young people in his care.
If you know an extraordinary caregiver who goes above and beyond for their tamariki and rangatahi, please consider nominating them for the 2025 awards - there are many caregivers out there who deserve this recognition, so let's make it happen!
Please visit the Caring Families Aotearoa page for more information on the awards, including who is eligible and who can nominate, and to download the nomination form. Nominations close Friday 11 October.
