The Pacific Island Community Trust Bay of Plenty (PICT) is a Charitable Trust that has been operating since May 2008.  PICT is governed by a Board of Trustees.  

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to improve the holistic wellbeing of Pacific communities.  In practice, PICT provides a whole of family, wraparound service to community using Pacific models of care.  Our mission is to create pathways for our Pacific communities to thrive.  We deliver a whole range of services covering health, social services and education workshops/programmes.  PICT also has a focus on community development, and we are supported by some awesome volunteers. 

What we provide

We run a health & wellbeing clinic on a daily basis by appointment only, with the focus to administer all immunisation related vaccines, including Covid 19. We provide opportunities for student Nurses and Social Workers on their placements.  PICT also works alongside and in partnership with Tai o Fenua (Pasifika ECE Centre).  Families that engage with our services/programmes are encouraged to enrol their children at Tai o Fenua if they are not enrolled anywhere – this helps to start our children’s education at an early childhood level. 

PICT's services covers Bay of Plenty, Tauranga & Western Bay of Plenty districts.
