Wellbeing, Health and Whanau

We believe there is more that can be done.

The Ted Manson Foundation is committed to investment in areas of wellbeing, health, and whanau, with a focus on improving the overall wellbeing of New Zealanders and reduce inequalities.

We are particularly focussed on Māori, Pacific peoples, low-income and disadvantaged New Zealanders. The distribution of and access to material resources within these socially disadvantage groups leads to poorer health outcomes, greater exposure to health and wellbeing risks and ultimately reduced access to health services.

We believe there is more that can be done to create the conditions necessary for improved wellbeing in families, whanau and the community.
