A new service hub is being set up to help remove social and language barriers some Tauranga immigrants face.
Multicultural Tauranga, which helps immigrants settle in to the city and promotes cultural diversity in the region, is setting up an ethnic community health and social service hub that will offer guidance on community resources.
Multicultural Tauranga president, Premila D’Mello, said the hub would offer free health check-ups as well as tailored support to migrants who hold temporary visas and do not have access to social services.
“We are for the migrants and run by the migrants.”
