Move it Mahuru 2024 – Celebrating Movement and Wellness!
Event Date: 18/10/2024
We’re excited to share the success of Move it Mahuru 2024, an annual kaupapa, which was held on Friday 18th October and aimed at driving physical activity within the kaimahi of Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki (TKHOH). Through competition and collaboration, we not only encouraged movement among our own kaimahi but also extended this to their social circles. This kaupapa was the catalyst to the development of the Move It Haerenga kaupapa, targeting the key pou of Healthy Families – from alcohol and smoking reduction to resilience and wellbeing.
Key Highlights:
Physical Activity Boost:
With daily goals of 10,000 steps or a 5km walk, two 30-minute activity sessions, and weekly challenges, we saw huge participation from kaimahi and their whānau.
Move it Haerenga Komiti:
The formation of the Komiti helped share the leadership, with kaimahi leading hikoi from different locations across the Hauraki rohe. This created a greater sense of ownership and involvement.
Regular Hikoi:
Every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday, kaimahi took to local ngahere trails, building a deeper connection to our taiao while improving fitness.
A Collaborative Effort:
With contributions from Te Kōhao Health, and amazing support from sponsors like Aituz Chiropractic, Fun Zone Hamilton, and more, this kaupapa keeps growing. Trophies and spot prizes added an extra layer of motivation, and it was heartwarming to see whānau get involved too!
Mauri ora to everyone who participated and helped make Move it Mahuru a success! Keep an eye out for even more exciting things in 2025 as we continue to adapt and improve this kaupapa to support our collective wellbeing.
