This kind of feedback reminds us why we do what we do 💚 By supporting individuals and families to take control of their finances, our financial mentoring service helps turn stress and uncertainty into confidence and hope. Watching people move from debt to savings is real, lasting change - and it strengthens our whole community.

🎉 Our Op Shop is turning one this Friday! Come and celebrate with us and enjoy some birthday fun. If you haven’t already visited our store yet, this is a great opportunity to grab some bargains as well. Every sale they make supports the work that we do to bring lasting change to local at-risk youth and families.

The Op Shop is about to celebrate it's 1yr anniversary this Friday 16th Jan and we want to invite you to join us in our celebration! Come between 10am-1pm and enjoy a free sausage sizzle and lots of goodies as our way of saying thank you for supporting us over the past year. There will be lots of other specials in store and don't forget it's also Freebie Coffee Friday with any purchase too! We hope you can join us! :)

We want to give a huge shout out to Inghams for their amazing support of the rangatahi in our programmes 🙌 As part of their commitment to be Always Good to the community and making sure everyone has access to high-quality protein, Inghams has pledged to supply us with 30kg of chicken every month. This generosity helps our students cook up tasty, nutritious lunches (like this delicious chicken curry!) and support their whaanau with wholesome meals at home 🍽️✨

We also use this chicken as part of the wraparound support we provide to students and their families. For many of our young people, having access to good food each day makes a real difference - it fuels their learning, boosts their wellbeing, and gives them practical skills they can use for life.

We’re so grateful to Inghams for partnering with us to help create better futures for young people and their whaanau. Their support shows how local businesses can make a real and lasting impact in their community.

If your organisation would like to get involved and support our youth programmes, we’d love to chat ❤️

We took some time out to focus on strengthening our team - and what an awesome afternoon it was! 🙌 We had the pleasure of spending time with Tracey Olivier, a talented Organisational Health Practitioner, who took us through The Six Types of Working Genius and the habits of a cohesive team. It was such a valuable (and fun!) session that helped us understand our individual strengths, how we work best together, and how we can support each other to keep building a healthy, thriving team 💪✨

Tracey has an amazing way of making learning both practical and full of laughter - the perfect combo!

Thanks so much, Tracey, for helping us grow as a productive, happy, and connected team. We left inspired and ready to put what we learned into action 💛
