A note from
Robert Dunne
Movember New Zealand Country Manager
This project is one where Movember and the Kiwi Firefighters Calendar have shared values on the importance of physical activity as a mental health tool and acknowledge that for at-risk groups like first responders we must have targeted programmes. The Whanaungatanga Programme is one of 15 global projects funded by Movember. The programme focuses on the mental health and wellbeing of veterans, first responders and their families.
It promotes connection, trust and a strong sense of value and belonging; traits dear to frontline personnel. “Whanaungatanga” can be translated as the close connection between people.
