About Nevertheless Trust: Nevertheless Trust is a Māori, Pasifika, and Rainbow+ Charitable organization deeply rooted in Pasifika & Māori values such as vā (relational space), tautua (service to community), tino rangatiratanga (self-determination), and kaitakitanga (sustainability of peoples). The Manioro Nu’u Rainbow Hub, established in April 2023, serves as a safe space for all Rainbow+ peoples in the Hawkes Bay area. Manioro Nu’u provides a place for connection, education on topics such as Mental & Sexual Health, and creative expression through contemporary and indigenous artforms.
