On 12th of November a significant moment in Aotearoa New Zealand’s history will take place as Parliament delivers a formal apology to state care survivors. In recognition of this monumental occasion, a safe and inclusive gathering will be held for survivors, their whānau, and the wider community.

The event will offer a supportive environment where attendees can watch a live screening of the apology, accompanied by light refreshments, live music, and an uplifting atmosphere to foster healing and community connection.

This day will also mark the first Day of Remembrance and creation of ngā mōrehu (survivors), particularly honouring those who have passed on, while embracing new beginnings for those still with us. This all-inclusive space will provide all survivors from across the country the chance to reflect and stand together in solidarity during this significant chapter of reconciliation.
