We offer supported accommodation for care leavers 16+

Our home is called Te Papa and can have up to two young people living there.
Te Papa comes from New Zealand and is a Māori word and means Our Place. We hope young people do come to see Te Papa as their place, as they grow in independence.


Our purpose:
To provide a step-down for young people aged 16 upward from a children’s home
environment, providing the necessary support to enable them to take their first steps to independence.


Our aims:
To provide and cultivate a secure and nurturing haven for young people, fostering
empowerment, independence, and autonomy while honing their core skills and
facilitating seamless progression towards complete self-sufficiency in independent
living.


We are registered with Ofsted and our URN is 2780134.

Te Papa - Supported Accommodation

    Te Papa Meaning

    Te Papa, our place - the name of the national museum in Wellington, New Zealand.


    The name Te Papa, meaning “the container of treasures,” reminds us that people, culture, and knowledge are taonga—precious gifts to be honoured and protected.

    At Te Papa, we put people and purpose first, ensuring every interaction reflects integrity, care, and cultural respect. We believe what we do should uplift and empower, just as a treasure-house preserves what is valuable for future generations.

    Te Papa — Honouring People. Protecting Purpose. Celebrating Value.

    Te Aroha - Supported Accommodation

      Te Aroha Meaning

      The name Te Aroha comes from the Māori concept of love—not just emotion, but a way of living: compassion, respect, generosity, and unity.

      At Te Aroha, we carry that meaning into our mission.

      We treat people as taonga (treasures), build relationships based on trust, and create environments where kindness and connection lead the way.

      Te Aroha — Where Love Inspires Purpose.

      Te Aroah - Our second supported accommodation home

       We are proud to share the opening of our second supported accommodation property, Te Aroha. This new home enables us to reach and support even more young people, providing them with safety, stability, and the care they deserve.


      The opening of Te Aroha is a significant achievement for Peniel First and reflects the dedication and hard work happening behind the scenes. Our team’s commitment has turned this vision into reality, strengthening our ability to make a positive impact in the lives of children who need it most.


      We are excited for what Te Aroha will bring and remain focused on creating brighter futures—one home, one child, and one step at a time.
