The Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust was co-founded in March 2004 by singer and songwriter Dame Hinewehi Mohi, naming the Trust after her daughter who was born with severe cerebral palsy.

Its team of Registered Music Therapists deliver services to approximately 1,000 clients per week, ranging in age from infants to those in their 90s. These clients have a range of needs, including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum, developmental disabilities, genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, acquired brain injuries, mental health challenges, dementia, and complex trauma.

With an increase in the cost of living, and a decrease in funding, the Trust is facing the reality of a reduction of services, particularly as they receive no direct government funding. To ensure that the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust can continue to provide quality, accessible music therapy services to all people, whatever their needs, it is announcing its biggest fundraiser yet.

Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust will bring home the record for the official Guinness World Record for the Largest Haka at Eden Park on Sunday 29th September 2024.
