A New Kind of News: Te Puke NewsWeek and the Power of Positive Stories
Here at Food Forest Tours, we believe a healthy community is just as important as a healthy ecosystem. That’s why we’re so inspired by a new initiative in Te Puke that’s planting seeds of positivity in a truly unique way.
Introducing Te Puke NewsWeek, a digital news platform dedicated to celebrating the good news often missed in our busy lives. Their mission isn’t to report on every event, but to focus on stories that uplift, connect, and strengthen the community. It’s a powerful idea: that by focusing on local achievements and community initiatives, we can foster a more optimistic and engaged community.
An Initiative of the Vector Group Charitable Trust
Te Puke NewsWeek is an initiative of the Vector Group Charitable Trust, an organization deeply committed to the well-being and enrichment of the Te Puke region. This news portal is a direct reflection of their work—building a stronger, more positive community by showcasing the good news that often goes untold. As we’ve seen with their food forest projects like Grow Te Puke and Troppo, the Trust understands that nurturing a community means investing in both its land and its people. Te Puke NewsWeek is an extension of that philosophy, using storytelling to cultivate a supportive environment for all.
Collaborative Community Building
What makes this project so effective is its collaborative spirit. Te Puke NewsWeek doesn’t operate in a vacuum; it actively partners with key local organizations to amplify positive stories and support community development.This network of collaboration ensures that Te Puke NewsWeek provides a truly comprehensive and positive picture of the region’s vibrant spirit. By giving a platform to diverse voices, from schools and non-profits to passionate individuals, they are actively nurturing the sense of shared purpose that makes a community truly great.
It’s a testament to the idea that positive action, whether through planting a food forest or sharing an inspiring story, can have a profound and lasting impact.
