The NZ Police have approached our Community Patrol to be part of a programme that's is designed to improve the ability to reduce and deal with crime . It is run by the NZ Police from their District Command Centre (DCC). We log on to COMMS and then we have the ability to be in direct contact with the Police themselves by using the tablet.

Our community patrol is needed. We are the eyes and ears in the area when Police are away. We provide a safety net and prevent crime occurring . We have direct contact with our local Police members, COMMS and soon the DCC.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
FYD was established as a proactive response to increasing negative youth statistics throughout the country. NZ has one of the highest high school drop-out rates in the OECD, with the sixth lowest high school completion rate - OECD, Education at a Glance 2009. Violence against children accounts for half of all family violence deaths; child abuse is a key reason children leave school early - NZ Institute Report Card. 30% of NZ's unemployed are youth - age 15-19 . This compares with 12% OECD average - OECD NZ has one of the highest suicide rates for people aged 15-19 compared to the OECD average - www.stats.oecs.org/index.aspx
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
Recent FYD research shows: 96.9% of Kiwi Can students recalled learning about honesty and 87.5% about being a good friend. A group of 49 Project K students showed an average increases in: self-efficacy of 19%, school connectedness 23% and resilience 13% at programme completion. Our programmes benefit the participating students, their families, friends and wider community as they take home the positive life skills and values learned which is reinforced and implemented into their home lives. Long term these children will become better educated, higher achieving adults who will positively contribute to society and will give back to their community.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
All FYD's programmes are rigorously evaluated every year by students, teachers, parents, mentors and the business community. FYD gives high importance to the findings of all research and evaluation undertaken as this forms the basis of the success and development of the youth programmes delivered.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
FYD was established in 1995 and has become a leader in the delivery of youth development in programmes. Strong governance and management is a cornerstone of Foundation for Youth Development's success and our National Support Office is integral to this.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
The population of New Zealand is ageing. Latest projections indicate that the population aged 65 years and over is expected to grow by about 100,000 during the current decade. (Ref: Statistics NZ website). Research has shown that social isolation and loneliness are associated with a range of health issues, including increased mortality, depression, high blood pressure and dementia. A recent study found that social isolation was equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes and drinking six units of alcohol per day. (Ref: Statistics NZ website). CMA has successfully been providing our much needed service to isolated elderly for over 50 years.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
Our 2014 survey showed the following: Over 87% of respondents feel CMA is meeting their requirement to take a holistic approach to the health and welfare of members. 86% of respondents rated overall ‘very good’ or ‘good’ the activities provided at the centre (social, intellectual, physical, creative, health and wellbeing). When asked the open question “At CMA I enjoy…” over 78% of respondents specifically referred to the company, friendships, people, companionship or camaraderie as being something they value. These results show we are reducing social isolation and loneliness, increasing physical and emotional wellbeing and re-integrating seniors back into their communities.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
We conduct a bi-annual survey of guests and volunteers. We also ask for feedback on specific outings and activities that we do and have a guest comment book that members are encouraged to write in. We also value our very positive recommendations from health practitioners and family referrals.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
CMA has been operating its' services for more than 50 years. We have well trained, committed supervisors who have been with CMA for many years. Professional training is conducted annually on a variety of relevant topics. Our voluntary board is very experienced and we are fortunate to have the Executive Officer of Age Concern North Shore as our Chairperson. This has enabled us to work more closely with Age Concern and share knowledge.

ACNS established two Chinese Groups after a strategic planning exercise with Chinese Elders and group leaders was held, recognising a demand for services several years ago. These groups have a membership of over 200, with an average of 50 in attendance each week.

Our annual report shows the number participating in groups/activities were 2768.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
The Chinese groups are aimed at encouraging positive ageing through participation in activities. Through these groups members are given a sense of belonging to their community and the groups help to promote and preserve Chinese Culture and heritage, while enhancing their health and wellbeing and enabling them to live a more independent and fulfilled life. By translating materials, recruiting and training volunteers to visit Chinese people, this will reduce isolation and loneliness, again improving health and wellbeing.

Project activity/description

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
Capacity Development (Strengthen leadership, participation, community skills and resources) The sooner counselling support is given, the earlier the individual is to accept rehabilitation support. This has a multiplying effect on families and a return to self-sufficiency and community participation. Our clients often give back by providing peer support at our new member groups and volunteer time Our vision rehabilitation needs assessment process identified a quantifiable need to increase our service and dramatically increased referrals. Without additional funding to build on this valuable and well established service, wait times will increase losing the opportunity for early intervention and it’s benefits.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
Social Change (Advocacy and other work towards social change) Early intervention contributes to confidence, empowerment and self-advocacy. This increases self-esteem and a sense of worthiness whilst living with a disability. By having clients that are confident, they demonstrate the impact of disability and the importance of accessibility and equality in our society
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Our focus will be on measuring: • Efficiency - how well we use our resource, what we deliver to our clients in return. • Effectiveness - how we will begin to measure the outcomes for our Clients • Access – how we ensure we are not putting up barriers that prevent clients accessing services • Satisfaction - how do our clients feel about the standard and services and where can we improve Counselling service has developed its measures and these are specific to the role
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
For over a hundred years, we have connected members to expert staff and their peers, to gain the training, tools and tips they need to deal with blindness and achieve their potential. These services continue today. Our vision rehabilitation needs assessment process identified a quantifiable need to increase our service and dramatically increased referrals. Without additional funding to build on this valuable and well established service, wait times will increase losing the opportunity for early intervention and it’s benefits.

Devonport-Takapuna								$			20 %
*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
Many parents on the North Shore have children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other related developmental delays, and were requesting activities appropriate for their children. There were no other therapeutic dance movement classes available in this area for these children, and there has been a huge demand since the initial programmes ran at North Shore YMCA in 2013. We established a need with interviews and surveys with community groups working with children with special needs such as Wilson Home Trust and YES Disability. We then consulted parents who attended the programmes regarding positive outcomes and ongoing needs.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
Participants are generally unable to attend mainstream dance classes due to heightened sensory sensitivities and behavioural issues. STARS meets the needs of this specific community by providing an activity-based group designed for these children, allowing self-expression and self esteem development. The programme actively uses advanced therapeutic community based models to increase participants' social skills and capacity to participate in school and family life. Sessions focus on social skills and emotional literacy in a supportive, physical, fun activity-based group. Sessions will involve both improvisational and structured dance/movement activities, to support the children's overall development (social, emotional, cognitive, motor, sensory) and community participation.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
We will use evaluation forms at the end of each term to evaluate the benefit for the community and for the individuals who attended. We will meet with key individuals in the disability sector- both service users and support workers- who have attended sessions- to discuss the outcomes and to develop the programme to make it as effective as possible.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
DTNZ delivers 10 STARS programmes for children with disabilities and Autism every week through out Auckland. STARS has been highly successful with outcomes including active community and individual participation, creative expression and increased dance skills. In addition to STARS, DTNZ offers 3 Arts 4 Us programmes, Dance 4 Us and Arts 4 Mums. We work with a team of experienced therapists and liaise regularly with stakeholders to deliver the best programmes possible.

Project activity/description
*What is your project/activity called?*
Website/Database Integration & Upgrade
*What is your project/activity?*
The Mairangi Arts Centre website offers the ability to enrol in classes and membership online. The centre has a custom built Microsoft Access 2007 database that predates the website system & also used to record such transactions. The Access Database and the website content management system are NOT connected. Our project is to integrate the database and website.
*What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?*
Following a successful Feasibility Study, we are now requesting funding for our website company and Access Database programmer to integrate our Access database and website and upgrade the website. This project would save us a huge number of staff hours tied up in updating the two booking systems, a process which is prone to human error and ultimately customer dissatisfaction.

Rodney								$			5 %
*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
Staff are under incredible stress trying to synchronise both booking systems eg. manually changing the number of spaces available on the website when an over-the-counter booking has been made. Should staff forget to update the website and the class has filled over the counter, any additional online bookings received will be over-bookings and need to be refunded. This leads to frustrated and upset customers. Double-handling and constant errors produced are extremely frustrating for staff. It also makes us look unprofessional when we have to tell someone who has booked online that they do not have a place in a class.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
An extremely big difference! Users will be able to set-up user profiles on our new website and they will be able to see what they have booked in the past. There would be no more double-handling and all the information would be in one place, accessible for us from anywhere in the world through the Cloud.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Staff and customer satisfaction, increase in bookings and returning customers.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
We are engaging a website company the an experienced project manager (Gravitate).

Project activity/description
*What is your project/activity called?*
Mairangi Bay Art Walkway
*What is your project/activity?*
We need to raise awareness of Mairangi Arts Centre and all that it has to offer the community by increasing visibility in the Mairangi Bay Shopping Village. The centre is quite 'tucked away'. and needs it's location made more evident. This will be achieved by having an art walkway leading from the village to the centre.
*What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?*
We are applying for funding for the creation and installation of a series of mosaics to be placed in the road/footpath and the creation and installation of two scuptures. (pou)

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
A high proportion of people visiting the centre comment on how tucked away it is & how they did not even know it was here. Often it has taken them many years to become aware of our existence, simply because of where we are. Our location is hidden by the fact that we are in a residential area, away from the main activity in Mairangi Bay ie. the shopping village. The art walkway will provide connectivity with the shopping village and will bring us to the attention of the large number of people who congregate at the local cafes and shops.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
A good comparison would be with the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa where the cycleway brings large numbers of people into the galleries. Mairangi Arts Centre needs a pathway to increase visibility in a similar way. Our members and students would benefit as we would be able to offer a greater range of classes as student numbers increased. Artists would benefit from great chance of selling their artwork. It would lead to greater participation in art at the centre by the community in general.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Increase in number of art class enrolments, gallery sales. Decrease in the number of people coming to the gallery saying how long it had taken them to find us.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
We have many years' experience in organising art related projects, however as experience of the artists is more relevant in this case: *mosaic artist Sue Clark is a very experienced mosaic artist who has previously worked with young people(Youthtown) & produced public artworks. . The mosaic tiles will be created by local high school students with Sue's tutition view http://www.artatwork.co.nz The sculptures will be produced through Dept of Corrections Art in Prisons Programme who have produced many public sculptures around the area.

*How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?*
The school badminton league continues to increase in participants each year at North Harbour with the courts at full capacity. This is supported by the NZSSSC Census Data Report 2014. Schools in the outer reaches of our North Harbour area have difficulty traveling to our Forrest Hill venue. Upon contacting these schools they are keen to enter teams into our badminton league if we use a venue that is more accessible for them. A study by the National Institute for Health Innovation indicated the school environment, and equally access to places to be active was important for physical activity participation.
*What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?*
The project will provide opportunities for youth within the targeted community to participate in organised sport on a regular basis. They will be able to engage with youth from their extended community in an activity that promotes health, sportsmanship & comradery. The project will allow the targeted community to attend the competition by reducing travel and entry costs.
*How will you know if you have made this difference?*
Initially we will know by the number of teams entered and players participating at these two venues. During the competition, conversations and feedback with the players, teachers and parents will help to determine if our organisation is on track for this year and future years in these venues. Upon completion of the competition a survey will be forwarded to all participants including relevant school staff to gain feedback.
*What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?*
Badminton North Harbour have delivered a school badminton league for over 15 years. As the number of participants has increased we have used more courts over more days of the week. Fortunately we have access to two further venues which allows us to offer more schools and more students the opportunity to play badminton for their schools and themselves.
