Information for Healthcare Providers

The Jassy Dean Trust values and supports our local Waiheke health trusts, schools and ECEs. Please encourage and support families to apply to the Jassy Dean Trust where there is a need. Applications can be completed by local health trusts and schools, on behalf of families. However applications are not accepted from healthcare professionals providing services to a child.

The Jassy Dean Trust also assists with funding  youth-focused programmes that increase the health and wellbeing of our tamariki and rangatahi. 

Programmes we fund include:

  • Braincraft neuro-development programme at Waiheke Primary School

  • Raukatauri Music Therapy for children with special needs

  • Rangatahi Ora Youth Life at Piritahi Hau Ora
