Nuku Ora is the lead agency for Community Strength and Balance classes across the greater Wellington region. Our role is to create and grow access to strength and balance classes for older people in their communities.
We are part of the Live Stronger for Longer movement, a wider falls and fractures network all working together to support older people to stay independent and injury-free.
