Objectives		For over thirty years Action Education has been focusing on building a skilled community of people to bring creative programmes and to at risk areas of society. Action Education responds to the varied, complex and ever- changing needs of the young people we work with. Our greatest asset to do this effectively is the way we are able to engage hard to reach young people.
Activities		All our programmes have been designed using creative and interactive methods to engage young people in discussion and dialogue. Although they are fun and creative programmes, there is another layer to them which effectively help young people to examine their behaviours, attitudes and thinking - all critical parts of personal development. We have a range of programmes that develop both volunteers and young people, providing them with training focusing on personal development, teamwork, leadership and communication skills. Programmes aim to encourage discussions, review attitudes, and provide information so that isolation is reduced, personal skills are enhanced, and a greater level of wellness is attained. We run spoken word and poetry workshops, drama toolkit sessions, a Breakdown DJ programme and Anger Management workshop run in partnership with LSV.

Project activity/description
What is your project/activity called?
Personal Development Programmes
What is your project/activity?
We are requesting funding towards 2 Personal Development programmes held annually in the Henderson/Massey local board area. Each group has between 10-12 participants, directly involving the community. We are hopeful that with increased funding we will be able to hold more groups in this area in 2015. Personal development is one of our oldest and most popular programmes, aiming to guide young people on their journey of personal growth, self awareness, & the development of positive communication skills, thus equipping them with the confidence & skills to give back to their community & at risk/vulnerable populations.
What activity or purchase will be funded with this grant?
We are requesting funding assistance towards the facilitation and room rental costs of our personal development programmes due to run in Term 3 of 2014. Alongside our partnership with Youthline, it is also a prerequisite for continuing on to their counselling helpline training courses, providing them with personal growth and transferrable skills. It is a lively and varied programme, using experiential activities, games, discussions and a bit of interesting theory to give you lots of opportunities to find out more about yourself and build better communication and relationship-building skills as well. It is also great for helping individuals to learn more about working in a team, managing difference and conflict, building self esteem and confidence, goal setting and trust.

Community benefits
Where is the activity/project taking place?
We hold personal development courses at 4 venues across Auckland in privately rented community centres in Ponsonby, Henderson, Browns Bay & Papatoetoe. Our volunteers come from across the Auckland region, so we have created spaces that are easy for them to access. This application is requesting funding only for the 2 groups that are held in Henderson. Volunteers come from all across Auckland and beyond to take part in this programme.

*Local board benefiting*					*% of total benefit*
Henderson-Massey					90
Whau					5
Waitakere Ranges					5
How have you established that there is a need for this activity/project?
Our programmes are consistently in high demand and every semester there are waiting lists as we do not have sufficient funding for facilitators to run more groups to meet the capacity of people wanting to volunteer. This consistently high demand is testament to the need of the community, many of whom wish to develop themselves personally, and others who wish to gain the skills to help other people in subsequent training. Evaluations from previous group members have shown that this programme is both effective and useful in personal and professional development.
What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?
Our programmes have been developed so that the participants can learn and utilise greater interpersonal skills and develop life skills that foster greater wellness in their everyday lives. By supporting individuals to develop such skills, our programmes assist them in developing independence and self sufficiency that will equip them to give back to their communities. Some of the benefits individuals can have include: - Furthering education/learning - Group dynamics - Awareness of key issues and methods of counselling - Reflecting, mirroring skills - Engagement with others - Personal growth through engaging with others - Encourage diversity of opinion - Development active listening skills - Build empathy - Foster awareness of judgements and consequences - Self-awareness and responsibility for own learning - Self-evaluation for participation and that of the group - Build self-esteem and positive self-concepts - Develop positive self-talk techniques - Dealing with conflict/Unsafe situations/managing risk - Developing confidence - Communication skills, verbal and nonverbal - How to give and receive feedback - Develop positive relationships skills - Build inner resources - Develop awareness of boundaries - safety and security. Identify safe and unsafe people.
How will you know if you have made this difference?
All our programmes are followed by evaluations from the participants so that the programmes continue to be effective and enjoyable. Our programmes remain flexible so that they can be changed to reflect the changing nature of our communities. Evaluation processes are essential so that we continue to reflect on and develop our ability to be with young people and the community effectively. All services provided by Action Education have evaluation processes in place, which are then analysed and reviewed on a regular basis, this ensures best practice and enables our programmes to be more effective. Personal Development Programmes in Auckland: • Really great to learn about myself - triggers, how I behave in situations (stressful and relationships) • I wasn't sure what to expect from this course. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and have learned a lot about myself in the process. It allowed me to address some areas of my life that I was not aware existed • This experience exceeded any expectations I had. I have learnt so much about myself, others, etc. Working in a group was incredible. Every week there were amazing learnings and insights. Beth is incredible, I am very grateful. Thank you. • While I found the group personally challenging in some ways, I feel that overall the course was incredibly helpful. The group became like a family and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating and getting to know others. • A lot of the values and beliefs shared mirror my own • Amazing life changing • Really, really, really helpful in everyday life and helping me with relationships
What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?
Action Education have been providing creative programmes to young people & the community for over thirty years. Personal Development is one of our longest standing programmes, and one of our most successful. It is also extremely accessible to the wider community, while some of our other programmes are often restricted to schools and school-aged young people. Action Education's work has spanned a wide range of areas, which gives us a diversity of experience we can bring to our work.
Activity/Project budget
Please provide itemised costs of the project and show how much of each item is too funded by this grant? All costs must include GST
*Expenditure Item*			*Total cost of Item*				*Amount to be funded by grant*
Professional facilitation costs			$2,100.00				$2,100.00
Admin & photocopying			$100.00
Coordination			$500.00
Evaluation reports			$120.00
Room Rental			$480.00				$509.00
What amount are you requesting from Auckland Council?
$2,609.00
How will you raise the difference between the total expenditure and the grant request? (if necessary)
Each group member provides a contribution to the course on a sliding scale according to income, starting at $80 per participant, which covers some of the administration, coordination and evaluation report overhead costs. This small contribution does not cover the full programme costs. It is important Action Education are able to offer this programme to those who otherwise might not have the opportunity to attend. However if we do not have support from grants we cannot run as many programmes, so we remain proactive in approaching other trusts and grants funding bodies for support for these costs.
Have you (or will you) apply to any other organisations for funding for you activity/project
*Name of funder*	*Amount applied for*				*Status of request*			*Amount received*

Should the activity/project continue outside of the funded period, how will you fund this?
This programme runs on a semester-based schedule and has done so throughout the years it has been run. We currently have not applied for any other fundraising for the Henderson/Massey-based Personal Development groups that are going to begin in Term 3 of 2014, but in the event that we are declined funding from the Auckland Council Henderson/Massey Local Board, we will approach other funders prior to the courses starting.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
n 1988 when we were planning to set up the natural health clinic for those unable to afford natural health care, we investigated different areas of the Auckland region. We found that Te Atatu Peninsular, at the time had a lot of people in the low- socio-economic group. Today we are now finding huge demand for the clinic from the community in the wider west Auckland area as well. We now have more therapists working at the clinic because of the continuing growing need in the wider west Auckland community.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
The Clinic makes a huge difference to those people attending. Many people attending the Clinic come because they have nowhere else to go, are needing help and feel desperate and alone. These people are helped with dealing with physical, mental and emotional pain, trauma, depression and anger. The therapies offered help to relieve these problems and stresses so that the people can re-enter their community with high self-esteem, a sense of hope and positiveness. This all flows to those around them into the community in which they live.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Every day, at the Clinic, we see this. Working at the Clinic for a time as a receptionist I constantly observed people coming to the Clinic in very sad circumstances and after a few weeks of therapy they are different people, happy and positive about the future. The staff experience this every day. We have many local organisations referring their clients to us, such as In-Work NZ Ltd, the Welsh Trust and the Women's Centre Waitakere City and local doctors.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
All our Practitioners are qualified in their indivudual fields of Therapy. With over 20 years of running the Antara Free Natual Health Clinic the Antara Committee have gained huge skills in administering the association and running the Clinic. Amongst our members we have an Accountant and Therapists who give valuable input into the running of the clinic.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
Arthritis NZ has established a Pacific Island Arthritis Educator role in response to the need from that community for culturally appropriate programmes to educate and inform about arthritis. Gout is 3 to 4 times more prevalent in Pacific communities with debilitating effects upon the individual and their whanau. There are cultural issues that prevent effective treatment of the disease. Our Pacific Island Educator works throughout Auckland and would spend about 25% of her time working with the Pacific community in West Auckland and most of that time is around gout education because of the high incidence amongst her clients.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
The Pacific Island community in West Auckland would have An improved knowledge and understanding abut gout Their cultural barriers to treatment addressed Whanau understanding the strong genetic link in this disease Proper diagnosis and management leading to quality of life improving, fewer days at work lost and fewer emergency visits to the doctor for 'flare-ups' Long term effects of severe kidney and joint problems avoided
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Arthritis NZ evaluates all of its programmes through online surveys and evaluation questionnaires at our clinics, workshops, seminars etc. Independent evaluation by Auckland University has shown that our Gout Education programmes are reaching the target communities and also the number our of clients achieving a higher rate of target therapeutic levels of serum urate has increased
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
Started in 1966 since when we have been delivering services throughout New Zealand. Have worked closely with other health organisations in developing our gout education programmes which we have delivered for a number of years.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
We started a single parent trust because there was nothing in Auckland that directly assisted single parents. We read many comments on websites asking if there was something and we learned there used to be a Birthright in Auckland that closed down. We are single parents so we were able to describe our needs and we have been receiving feedback from single parents since 2005 on what they need. We keep in close contact with Birthright and overseas single parent support groups. All the women's groups we have spoken to say our project fills a need.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
Single parents will connect with us and other organisations in Auckland. The isolation will drop dramatically and we will see a lot of support given and received as single parents network online and offline. Our support groups and workshops will have more attendees and single parents will put up family events online as well as attend others. Their stress will drop and single parents will cope better as well as achieve goals and function well. Their children will thrive as the parents thrive. Single parents will get regular breaks thought out the year as they attend the camps.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
There will be an influx of single parents and single parents will give us feedback. As a long term, close nit group, we learn quickly what difference we make.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
Our group is made up of single parents in all sorts of professions and from all walks of life. We are single parents and we have 8 years experience working with single parents in Auckland online and offline.

Our Volunteer Mentors visit the boys in their own homes, keep close contact with their schools, liaise with the caregivers, monitor the Big Buddy/Little Buddy matches and ensures the effectiveness of the ongoing relationship. The Co-ordinators are heavily involved in the recruitment, training and placement of Big Buddies. We take referrals from all sources and provide the service to families of all ethnicities.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
We have a well established track record of providing this service in Central Auckland and despite constant matches being made we have a waiting list of young boys waiting to be matched to a Big Buddy.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
Statistics show that fatherless boys are hugely over-represented in crime statistics, and likewise that providing a mentor over a sustained period of time greatly reduces the likelihood of boys ending up in a life of crime and other unsatisfactory outcomes. More than this, the boys flourish under the care and guidance of their Big Buddies and go on to live full and satisfying lives. Our new database and having the equipment to link to it is vitaL for our ongoing work as the existing database is now almost dysfunctional and is a privacy/security risk.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Our Co-ordinators regularly monitor and record relationship outcomes. The duration of the relationship is one marker. Caregivers also report in meetings the changes they have noted in the boy's behaviour and attitudes. Feedback from schools is recorded. Increases in referrals is another indicator of success.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
After 16 years and stable staffing we have become very skilled at screening potential mentors and finding suitable matches, being quick to identify any relationship problems and in knowing how to support bothy the Big Buddy and the Little Buddy.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
At least 19% of our services in the Auckland area are delivered in West Auckland (based on 2012/2013 figures). There is an increasing need for our services in the past two year. In 2012/13 we delivered services to over 200 families Auckland Wide, in 2013/14 we have delivered services to over 600 families (or approximately 114 families in the West). We can work with a child for at least 10 years, after being recently diagnosed through their major transitions in schools etc. We have a waitlist of children/families requiring our support and with your help, we can provide services to.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
We help the child and their family to first manage the diagnosis of Autism, by taking a practical, family-centric approach to assisting them through their major milestones, like transitioning schools. Our aim is to equip families with the strategies and mechanisms to demonstrate valuing and including a person with autism in the wider community. Thus, preventing isolation and dependency on respite care. Our programmes and support services focus on increasing the naturally occurring social and support networks of the individuals, enabling opportunities to contribute their unique gifts and strengths and enjoy a full meaningful life, in the community.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
We conduct surveys throughout the programmes, which show the progress of the child and family. Feedback forms are filled in at the end of each programme. We also get wonderful testimonials from families. We know we are making a difference as we are receiving more and more referrals from professionals, community groups and families. Unfortunately we have a waitlist, but with your help we could reduce this time waiting considerably.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
Since 1980, the Dayspring Trust has been successfully providing education, support and guidance to women in the community suffering from post natal stress disorders and maternal mental illness or have suffered the effects of violence and abuse. The support offered is not only life-saving for the women; it means they bond effectively with their babies and children. We have first-hand experience on the impact this has on mother/baby bonding process, and the associated risks of attachment disorder. Well mothers means well babies.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
This early intervention parenting dvd program helps educates vulnerable mothers in forming a secure attachment with their babies, teaching them to respond better to babies needs; so the baby feels secure and able to explore the world. Babies and pre-school children with ‘insecure or disorganized attachment patterns’ often struggle when they get to school, have social problems and a high risk of developing into aggressive and stressed adults. This can lead to personality disorders, substance abuse and dysfunctional behavioural traits. Benefits accrue not only to mother and baby/child, but are felt by the entire family and the wider community.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Participants are required to complete a Pre-Evaluation and at the end of the programme a Post Evaluation. Statistics report a definite shift in caregiving competencies, the ability to understand their infants/child's emotions and an improved relationship with their child. This programme allows us to observe and identify families and children that are at risk. We also have an in-home therapeutic attachment programme - the most at risk families will be referred to that programme for treatment.

*Project activity/description*
*What is your project/activity called?*
Auckland Outreach Worker based in West Auckland
*What is your project/activity?*
We are applying for a contribution to the salary of the Auckland Outreach Worker who was appointed in July 2013 on a part-time (10 hours per week). There is ongoing demand for supporting members in dealing with CYF and attending Family Group Conferences, WINZ and attending Family Meetings, Family Court and Strengthening Families.
*What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?*
Our Outreach Worker is employed for 10 hours per week at a per annum cost of $10,000. We are applying for $2,600 based on the proportion of members (279 or 26%) who reside in the West Auckland area.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
We have operated for 15 years and the need for such a service is well established. We are contacted by members regularly asking for support in attending meetings with CYF, WINZ and Strengthening Families in particular. Since the Outreach Worker has been operating she has provided much needed assistance for members in dealing with various agencies and Strengthening Families. Members who need our support are very vulnerable - they don't know where to go or who to talk to, they feel alone and unsupported. We step in and create order and greater certainty for them.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
What difference will the project/activity make to the target community? 100 Having an Outreach Worker available to our members has made a significant difference to the lives of the members supported. We have over 1,000 member families in the Auckland Area and many of them are in need of advice and support in dealing with CYF, WINZ and Strengthening Families. Many of them have never had to deal with these agencies before. For older people it can be a daunting and stressful experience. They are also unfamiliar with the entitlements that they can access on behalf of their grandchildren.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
In the last 12 months our Outreach Worker has had 276 member contacts, received and made sent 2,460 phone calls and received and sent 867 emails. There is no doubt that her involvement has made a huge difference in helping our members. We know that it has been a huge help and relief to have someone with them to provide guidance and support - a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
We have considerable expertise in delivering similar projects. During our 15 years of operation we have grown to the point of having 4 part-time Field Officers and 36 (volunteer) Support Group Coordinators. The role of Outreach Worker is similar to the Field Officers in particular and we have the systems and procedures in place to manage these "projects/activities" effectively and efficiently.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
In the early days it became clear that it was important to convey information to our members in written form. The newsletter evolved as the major communications vehicle for all our members. The GRG Newsletter is sent to members by email or ordinary mail every month. Many of our members feel alone and isolated. We know from member feedback that the newsletter is an essential part of the lives of our members. For many it is a lifeline. Half of our members do not have a computer at home. For them the newsletter is doubly important.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
The GRG monthly newsletter makes a huge difference to our members many of whom feel isolated and alone. It is chock full of stories that bring a smile, stories that bring a tear. Every month we have more input material from our members than we can fit in. The newsletter is for them and of them. It is their voices telling their stories. The newsletter contains much needed information and advice about how to go about accessing any financial support available to them and how to deal with CYF, WINZ and the Family Court.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
We know we are making a positive difference when we get this sort of feedback: “The sun always shines brightly through our GRG Newsletter - our friend for life. Thank you Di and Team, but also to the other grandparents who contribute to make the newsletter a compulsory necessity in my life”. “They (the newsletters) are most gratefully received I can assure you and help so much when we are feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility we have taken on.”
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
GRG is extremely skilled at producing in-house a monthly 10 page colour newsletter with photos and has been doing so for many years. The newsletter is produced by the GRG Chair/Member Support Manager. Members contribute many of the articles. The newsletter is for them and of them. It is their voices telling their stories.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
We are the only Conductive Education Program for adults in New Zealand. There is little in the way of rehabilitation services for people with neurological disorders in New Zealand. We have increased our capacity from 63 to 108 people and are in the process of carrying out a service delivery review to look at how we can increase capacity further. We have recently introduced several new groups for teens and young adults with cerebral palsy - following an identified need that families bought to our attention. We have been approached by Alzheimer's Auckland and the Parkinson's Society to run more classes.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
People with neurological disorders tend to be more isolated from their local community because of their physical disability and often because they have communication difficulties. Because Conductive Education is run by specialists in a group setting people learn to feel at ease and comfortable in groups with people who have similar conditions. Conductive Education is aimed at improving communication, increasing body control, balance, posture and a range of movements. People learn techniques and strategies to help them deal with everyday living so that they are able to live more independently.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
When people come for an assessment and are accepted onto the program, they identify a number of goals that they want to achieve with the Conductors. These are reviewed at 12 weeks and there after on a 6 monthly basis. We have a face to face review meeting with the person and we also write up a progress report for each person at these times.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
The Integrated Neurological Rehabilitation Foundation has been running for 22 years now. We have 3 trained Conductors and 2 Program Assistants who support them. We run 23 groups a week for approximately 108 people. We have recently introduced several new groups for teens and young people with cerebral palsy and these groups are running extremely well.
