I feel love here at the trust with the beach, the people and the staff. I am totally true and relaxed at my home at beach road, it is like when I was at home in Tapu. Many happy memories with love and bliss, nothing you can worry about too much. Trips to the beach god bless, love walking the boardwalk looking out to the sea, meals at the café and a beautiful time and memories at the disco, what true love forever grateful.

I have been at the Trust for 3 years and this year I have moved into my own home. This has increased my independence in many ways especially doing housework. I have recently had some health challenges requiring major changes to my diet and lifestyle and the Trust has really supported me through these challenges. This year I have also been supported to overcome my fear of horses and now I am attending Equilibrium every Thursdays.
Atene Karauria
I came to the Trust about a month ago. I enjoy having more control over my life and being able to come and go as I please and choose what activities that I am involved with. I have a trust in the Trust to respect my views and allow me to become more independent. I love being part of the process in my rehabilitation.
