Anglican Care Waiapu (ACW) is the social services arm of the Anglican Diocese of Waiapu, serving communities across the Bay of Plenty, Te Tairāwhiti, Hawke’s Bay, and Tararua.

We are guided by three values:

• Aroha – a life grounded in love
• Rongo – a life lived in peaceful relationship
• Hari – a life lived with joy, seeking to fulfil potential

Everything we do is grounded in our Te Hahi Mihinare and Anglican whakapapa, and our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Our vision, “Te Oranga Ake – Flourishing Together”, reflects our deep belief that true wellbeing is nurtured through strong relationships, shared purpose, and joyful connection. Whether through early childhood education, family and community services, support for older people, and grief programmes, we walk alongside our communities to foster resilience, equity, and hope.

Together, we are growing a future where Aroha (love), Rongo (peace), and Hari (joy) are lived values—woven into every interaction, every service, and every story.
