Indeed it is because of our growth and the extent of our involvement in an increasing range of social issues that we have decided to change our name and visual identity. This therefore introduces ME Family Services as well as a fresh and compelling new look and feel that reflects more closely the positive energy that every one of our people brings to the wider Mangere and Otahuhu community. He is currently involved as a chair or director for a range of social service, property and other organisations’ including the Mangere Community Law Centre and Tidal Properties Mangere . School wasn’t of any interest to me, I hated it so much and some boys just loved to bully me. At the age of 16 I left school because I was over the bullying! I left with limited education and not understanding its importance until I learnt for myself that my reading and spelling wasn’t so good. Wherever life took me I was still going through the same issues at school bullying, abuse, discrimination and hate! My understanding of being transgender was that it wasn’t a life of choice, I was born like this.
My strength was listening and I was seen as the go to person when a 'sister' wanted advice or was feeling down. It got me thinking about what I wanted to achieve in the future and although I was living a lavish lifestyle with people who loved me, I knew at some point in my life I needed to be independent and that meant getting a job. One day I really thought about my strengths and decided that I would go back to study. Whenever we want to change anything, put right what's wrong, or make something happen, the energy to do that comes from inside. Which is why, after 21 years, Mangere East Family Service Centre changed its name to ME Family Services.
Each of us at ME is here for everyone who lives in Mangere and Otahuhu and who wants to grow and make a difference.

Our strengths in Early Childhood, Parenting Engagement and Whanau Support are well known and we can be proud of our achievements, the special relationships we have built, as well as the sustainable organisation we have become. Indeed it is because of our growth and the extent of our involvement in an increasing range of social issues that we have decided to change our name and visual identity. This therefore introduces ME Family Services as well as a fresh and compelling new look and feel that reflects more closely the positive energy that every one of our people brings to the wider Mangere and Otahuhu community.
Reverend Peter Sykes is very excited about the new look and invites you to embrace it. Whether you’ve been with us for many years or you’re just meeting ME for the first time, the true energy of ME Family Services lies in each person’s ability to say it’s up to me’
