The Highbury Whānau Centre was established in the early 80’s, by a group of concerned parents as a reaction to negative youth behaviours that the communities of Highbury, Takaro and Westbrook, Palmerston North, were experiencing at this time. Since then, the organisation has played an integral part within the provision of youth and community development activities, services and programmes to the communities of Highbury, Takaro & Westbrook and the wider city.
The organisation has continued to grow, and currently provides youth, Whānau and community services that encompass the realms of education, recreation, community development and social services. The Highbury Whānau Centre has a solid and robust reputation, locally, nationally & internationally of working with children, Rangatahi and their whānau to support and progress youth, health, education, recreation, community and social development. The Centre has developed a positive working relationship with Crown and non-government sector organisations to provide youth, whānau & community-orientated services, with a specific expertise with Rangatahi Māori, within a urban Māori paradigm.
