Nevertheless (Manioro)

Nevertheless is a Māori, Pasifika and Rainbow+ mental health charity based in Heretaunga (Hastings), about 20 km south of Napier. It runs the Manioro festival, whose 2026 edition opened at Toitoi in Hastings on 14 May, and in 2023 it set up the Manioro Rainbow Hub with local rainbow community members. The hub started at 215 Railway Road, Hastings, but we couldn't confirm its current timetable, so check the charity's website or @hbrainbowhub on Instagram. The website also has a referral form for its services.
