 The Foundation logo is a conflation of significant elements of Matt’s life. The colour black signifies his proud New Zealand and Māori heritage and national team.

The East Grinstead town coat of arms has five feathers. The Foundation's five signify Whakapono, Tūmanako, Aroha, Whānau and Whakaute (Faith, Hope, Love, Family and Respect).

Thin Blue Line

Thin Blue Line

A widely-respected international icon, recognising policing as the line which keeps society from descending into violent chaos. Matt dedicated his working life to protecting others.

Whānau

Whānau (Māori pronunciation: [ˈfaːnaʉ]) is a Māori-language word for extended family.  . A concept that Matt lived his life by, and a philosophy he instilled in others.
