The Trust delivers a range of community-based services and programmes across early childhood education, youth development, Whānau Ora navigation, health promotion, and cultural and creative initiatives. A key focus of RPIDCT’s work is supporting holistic health and wellbeing, recognising the importance of physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellness for Pacific families.
