Te Puna Hauora
The Māori health provider Te Puna Hauora understands how vital it is to address all of their client’s health needs. That’s why the organisation partnered with the major financial mentoring provider on the North Shore, NSBS, to provide financial mentoring as a health necessity.
The mentors at NSBS provide fundamental financial literacy services to ensure that you are money fit and healthy, and that your financial medical history is set up for a safe, happy and fulfilling future. Financial stress and anxiety have a serious detrimental impact on your physical health and your mental wellbeing. Financial health cannot be ignored.
Our successful strategic partnership with Te Puna Hauora has allowed NSBS to deliver one-on-one BFC financial mentoring services to clients of the North Shore Māori health provider, which serves the area of Greater Auckland from Devonport to Wellsford.
The strategic partnership between Te Puna and NSBS has expanded the brand presence of NSBS in the community and supported more people and whānau in need of financial mentoring.
“The value of a partnership between Te Puna and NSBS enables a choice for our clients seeking money management support to access Kaupapa Māori or mainstream budgeting assistance”, said Lyvia Marsden, the former General Manager of Te Puna Hauora O Te Raki Paewhenua.

Our Strategic Partnerships
Workplace Wellness
The desire for increased financial awareness and education is on the rise, especially as employees in New Zealand are struggling to make ends meet and Kiwi employers experience the negative consequences. Offering a financial wellness mentor to staff will enhance their financial knowledge and minimise personal money worries, and enable sustainable growth strategies for the company in growing profit and revenue, fostering engagement, enhancing the customer journey, and minimising staff turnover numbers.
Grace Foundation
The strategic partnership between the Grace Foundation and NSBS will empower students, young people, and the vulnerable and marginalised members of society with financial mentoring to grow their financial independence and confidence and protect their future. Together, the two organisations will serve more people in need and offer practical life skills to empower them on their next stage in their life journey.

Seniors
Managing personal finances can be a sensitive topic, especially for Kiwi seniors facing changes in their life and financial situation. Even with retirement savings and a pension, budgeting for this new phase of life can be a little overwhelming. By prioritising financial wellness, Kiwi seniors can alleviate the burden of financial stress so they can live a healthier life.
Library Programme
Seniors and retirees will be heading to Auckland libraries as safe and inclusive places to learn about money. NSBS financial mentors will provide free financial literacy workshops to seniors in the cosiness of libraries to ease peace of mind and teach everything they need to know about money management.
Māori and Pasifika
NSBS chooses to build the financial capability of Māori and Pasifika, and we work closely with Māori and Pasifika healthcare partners and community organisations, and incorporate tikanga Māori and cultural values into our financial literacy services, so that we can deliver better financial futures for Māori and Pacific peoples.
