The HEART Movement is a community-led initiative in Tamaki, East Auckland, which celebrated it’s tenth anniversary in February 2022.
HEART was developed from conversations between community organisations and community members about working to prevent family violence before it happens rather than only responding to violence after it has occurred.
Everyone is welcome at HEART.
HEART is for everyone. We welcome people of all ages, cultures, abilities, genders, sexualities and backgrounds.
We are committed to creating accessible and inclusive spaces where people feel safe, respected, heard and able to participate. If there is something that would make it easier for you to take part in HEART, please let us know – we will do our best to work with you.
Te Taumata o HEART welcomes connection - get in touch on kiaora@heartmovement.org.nz with any questions.
Mana Wāhine Week 2025 - a huge success!
Our incredible week of celebration, connection, and empowerment has now wrapped up — and what a beautiful week it was! We are filled with gratitude for everyone who took part, shared their stories, led kaupapa, and supported behind the scenes. You can see our albums of photos on Facebook here…
The Theory of Change - the Foundation of HEART
Our Theory of Change is a 20 year plan and a way of thinking about how to create healthy relationships in Tāmaki. It is the foundation of the HEART Movement and we will keep this front and centre of HEART as we move forward.
Learning
We are learning what healthy relationships are, so that we can have as many as possible in our lives.
Connecting
We are connecting with every whānau and organisation in Tamaki so that our reach is far and wide.
Action
We are taking action to prevent family violence, so that healthy relationships is our norm.
Influence
We celebrate and share our work, so that other organisations, communities can learn from our learnings.
“Puamiria had a vision and set it in motion. There are many of us now who share this vision and are working to achieve it.”

Accessibility at HEART
We want HEART kaupapa, spaces and information to be accessible to everyone.
We know that people experience barriers in different ways. Accessibility can include physical access, communication, sensory needs, neurodiversity, language, transport, online access and feeling safe and welcome.
If there is something that would make it easier for you to access our information, attend an event or participate in HEART, please get in touch.
You don't need to know the right words or name a specific accommodation. Tell us what would help, and we'll work with you to find a way.
