Location:

Arataki Visitor Centre, 300 Scenic Drive, Oratia, Waitākere 0604

Summary:

We wish to provide a free professional standard theatre show for the local tamariki in an alternative venue, Arataki Visitor Centre. The story is about showing kindness to all- plants, animals, humans and self- and what we can accomplish if everyone shows a little more kindness to all. The show will be produced by Act One Productions with the support of Arataki Visitor Centre.

Expertise:

We have produced The Rudolph and Fairy Christmas Show and The Easter Bunny Show, both similar style to what this show will be: both shows are rebooked year after year by many happy clients. We also produced a full length Christmas show in 2018 with the help of the Takapuna Devonport Local Board which did very well at The Pumphouse Theatre. Our actors are skilled and experienced children's entertainers with years of experience on stage and at live interactive performances.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Sense of place - show is provided free of charge in your neighbourhood and brings awareness to some of the ecological issues raised by awareness campaigns and displays at Arataki Visitor Centre. Audience (kids) will learn about the impact kindness and compassion can have on the world around us. This is something interesting and different happening in the community and people don't have to venture far for a quality theatrical performance, they can do so while exploring their own backyard. It also brings awareness to this community and its points of interest.

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      Support arts and cultural activities that create a sense of place, interest and local identity

Providing a free show for tamariki in the school holidays at Arataki Visitor Centre gives children the opportunity to experience professional quality theatre in an alternative venue in their own neighbourhood. We want to work with Arataki to bring awareness to the ecological concerns that our next generation may have to deal with. We will do this through the joy and magic of theatre.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

Te Reo Maori will be used in the script, tikanga and mātauranga may be touched on as well. We will appoint a Māori content advisor for this.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The venue is wheelchair accessible and we invite people from all walks of life to see the show. It will be a relaxed environment so that people with sensory issues may come and go as they need.

We will also limit the amount of paper we use for promotional material etc and will leave a box for any unwanted paper that we will take away and recycle ourselves.

Personnel only. All other costs will be covered by Act One Productions.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Rehearse at director's house for free but small rehearsal venue, no lights, no set, no Maori content advisor. This would still require $9,000.00 to go ahead without these elements.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Our workshops present a safe, creative and empowering space, where each person is treated as an equal and encouraged to express their unique perspective through movement. Our therapy team works hard to create a non-judgmental atmosphere free from the stresses of able-ism and prejudice. They approach movement-making co-creatively, inviting attendees to play an active role in the development of the movement, offering an opportunity to gain a sense of mastery, integrate their whole self, and to develop further social awareness and skills to relate to, and communicate with, others in their family and the wider community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      diversity and difference is embraced and valuedSupport our communities to be healthy and safe and people feel that they are valued, connected and belong

Dance 4 Us West is a therapeutic programme for adults and young adults with special needs and disabilities. This population faces considerable stigma from the 'neurotypical' public every day, so we work hard to create a safe, open space where attendees are not only accepted, but are valued and celebrated just as they are.Dance 4 Us West is a therapeutic programme for adults and young adults with special needs and disabilities. This population faces considerable stigma from the 'neurotypical' public every day, so we work hard to create a safe, open space where attendees are not only accepted, but are valued and celebrated just as they are. By improving social skills and communicative ability, we're empowering participants to be able to more effectively communicate outside the session, in their local community, which helps to break down negative stereotypes about people with disabilities.

Project: Titirangi Potters Urgent Kiln Replacement

Location:

Titirangi Community House

Summary:

Titirangi Potters needs to urgently replace our two failing kilns. We are currently operating in a high-risk scenario where both kilns are failing almost by rotation and the cost of upkeep has become prohibitive. We are fighting a losing battle and if we cannot replace these urgently, we face imminent closure as we will not be able to offer firing services to members and the community.

Expertise:

We have created a working group of experienced potters to advise the club on kiln maintenance (feasibility of saving current kilns) as well as recommending new kilns. These members have been involved in pottery and pottery businesses for a combined length of >65 years. The current kilns are more than 15 years old and current members were involved in the fitting and purchase of these. Traditional kilns are complex to use; modern kilns are increasingly easy to operate. The knowledge of kilns/ controllers/ elements etc rests with the older club members. The kilns recommended have been discussed with the leading pottery supply company who agree that these best meet the needs of a club of our size and profile.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

The clearest benefit would be the continuation of our community club. Most members have no other access to kilns. Without replacing the kilns, Titirangi Potters will be unable to offer full pottery services to its members and the community. 
  
As a social enterprise, we are cognisant that for our older members (ie retirees) the club is one of their main ways to enable social and creative exploits. As a mixing place for generations, and levels of pottery competence, will ensure increased participation by the community and support local and emerging West Auckland ceramic artists.
 
With many renowned local potters the creative output of the club is high. Members regularly feature in the Portage Ceramic Awards. We want to continue contributing to local arts and showcasing our work at our own and other local exhibitions.
  New kilns will also be considerably more efficient and reduce our costs. Our aging kilns take increasing lengths of time to reach top temperatures which puts additional pressure on the electricity supply for the entire Community House/ Centre. Newer kilns are much simpler to operate and will thus enable more people to get involved in firings as expert understanding is not required.

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      Value and support our talented local artists and showcase their work

Titirangi Potters has a growing membership of novice and experienced potters. The constitution of our club encourages sharing of knowledge and techniques with the view to improve the artistic output of the group each year. As a mixing place for generations, and levels of pottery competence, we are a unique community group. Our older, more experienced members offer skills, coaching and advice to newer members and younger generations share their experiences. We hold regular workshops with practicing artists to teach specialist skills and inspire creative output, from our small, local club.
We have an annual exhibition where all members are encouraged to exhibit. For many, this is the first place to showcase their work (it is a safe and supportive environment to do this with award categories such as best newcomer or most creative). In addition, more experienced members exhibit and sell work at the local Titirangi Market each month, and other ceramic events such as Big Clay Day Out and our expert potters regularly successfully submit work into the Portage Ceramic Awards.

Project: Music Therapy Satellite Service: Titirangi

Location:

Titirangi Community House, 500 South Titirangi Road

Summary:

It is our mission to provide a quality, accessible music therapy service to all people, whatever their needs. To that end we have set up satellite services through which we can deliver our life changing music therapy service in the heart of the community. This, our first such satellite, was established in Titirangi in 2015 and continues to be our most popular satellite location, operating 1.5 days per week at the Titirangi Community House. With many of our enquiries coming from families who do not have access to transport, or cannot afford to drive each week to Grey Lynn, this satellite offers them access to our heavily subsidised and much needed service.

Expertise:

As New Zealand’s only music therapy Centre we have, over our 17 years, changed thousands of lives through music. In addition to the work at our Centre and satellite locations, we provide individual and group music therapy services to a large number of schools and disability agencies around Auckland for which we consistently receive positive feedback. All of our music therapists are qualified to at least degree level and are recognised professionals by Music Therapy NZ. They bring with them a wealth of experience in the field, not just in New Zealand but many from overseas. This experience is shared at regular team meetings and training events to not only develop our team but benefit our clients and their communities.

We distribute regular newsletters to our families and stakeholders with information on news and events, and funders for any programmes are always acknowledged. Additionally we work with a large number of schools and disability organisations who are happy to share information about our services.  We have a Thank You wall at our Centre where logos of our supporters are proudly displayed for all to see. We would welcome the opportunity for a local board member to visit the Centre and see first-hand the benefits of the work we do.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Through the delivery of music therapy services we assist the growth, development and well-being of individuals with a range of special needs and abilities. Due to their physical, cognitive and behavioural challenges, the vast majority of our clients cannot participate in community activities such as sport, music lessons, drama and art.  Music therapy provides them with the chance to express themselves, develop independence, engage with their community and others, and develop meaningful relationships.  Such skills and developments continue outside of these weekly sessions, meaning the benefit of the work we do also impacts our client’s whanau and the wider communities in which they live. 
 
At our satellite in Titirangi we see a mix of children and adults from the local community. They have a range of special needs including autism, Cerebral Palsy, foetal alcohol syndrome and behavioural difficulties. For many of these clients their weekly music therapy sessions are the highlight their week, not only for them but also their whānau.

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      Support our communities to be healthy and safe and people feel that they are valued, connected and belong

Here at the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre, community and arts are at our very core. Our clients come from a diverse backgrounds and present a wide range of special needs. In their music therapy sessions they have the opportunity to interact and communicate musically, expressing themselves in whatever way they can - using their body, voice or musical instruments. Our therapists improvise with them, working together musically, learning to communicate not just with each other but with the world around them. This chance to participate with others helps our clients connect, to feel valued and less isolated. Furthermore it gives them a sense of belonging, and enables them to become part of the wider community at large.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori focus - tikanga (practises), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

We offer a meaningful Tikanga Māori approach to music therapy practice which is based on mana/respect for all peoples and is at the root of our founding, our name and our identity. In their sessions our music therapists incorporate waiata and taonga pūoro in order to bring a rich and meaningful bicultural approach to the work. Our therapists also incorporate the principals of the Māori health model Te Whare Tapa Whā into their goal setting with whānau and engage in ongoing professional development around Tikanga Māori, the Māori relationship between music and healing, and the use of te reo. This approach is essential in enabling many of our clients to experience the healing and grounding force of their heritage.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - All our services are designed for individuals with disabilities.  Our clients have a range of special needs, including cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, dementia and mental health disorders.  Whatever a client’s need or ability, they are able to participate in our service. For those clients in wheelchairs, the Titirangi Community House is fully accessible, but our provisions go far beyond that.  We have specially designed and made instruments that allow even those with the smallest range of movement to make music, and have recently invested in a number of technologies that make the smallest movement sound like a symphony.  Our staff specialize in working with people with disabilities, creating a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$2752.74

Requesting grant for:

We ask clients to pay weekly fees based on a recommended scale. To remove financial barriers to our service these fees are heavily subsidised. With the salary costs to our music therapist, transportation expenses and rental for the space, the fees received from our clients do not cover our outgoings. We are therefore seeking funding to cover the shortfall for our weekly programme in Titirangi. It is only through the support of grants such as this that we are able to truly achieve our mission of offering a quality, accessible music therapy service to all people, whatever their need.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We would look for funding from other sources, but any contribution to underwrite the costs of this programme is gratefully received.

Project: Piha Bowling Club

Location:

21 Seaview Road, Piha

Summary:

To control pests within the clubrooms of the Piha Bowling Club so that the community feels that the club is looked after, is clean and safe and welcoming. 
To clean the kitchen to a high standard to apply for an A grading (grade is currently pending). This has always been done 'inhouse' but we would like to utilise a company that is currently servicing Piha. It is hard to get companys to travel so far. Vat Cleaning Services is the current service provider for Piha.

Expertise:

We have have long been a desired venue for weddings, birthdays, school fundraisers etc due to the location, the atmosphere and the facilities. We have a part time event manager in place who is working with suppliers and promoters to establish the clubrooms as a venue for community, visitors, tourists and media.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

A welcoming, clean, safe and inclusive venue for sporting activities (bowling), and other community events including school kid activities, local fundraisers, arts and culture and music. We were due to utilise the clubrooms for the WSL so the competitors and media had a quiet place to relax and eat, unwind and catch up. Although this has been postponed, we hope to be involved in the future. We want to put the Piha Bowling Club on the map and going forward we hope to attract more community use of the clubrooms. We are also looking at combined use with the local surfing clubs (not surf lifesaving but keyhole riders etc).

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      Encourage people to enjoy community spaces, parks, sports and recreation facilities

The facilities at the Piha Bowling Club are dated, and in need of cleaning and modernising. There is currently no pest control plan, and the kitchen needs cleaning so it can be graded and therefore managed professionally. The club has potential to become a welcoming venue for local events, school outings (we have Ranui school using the clubrooms this week and Avondale College used it earlier in the year), weddings and other social and inclusive events. The bowling green is now being managed by a professional greenkeeper and we hope that it will be up to standard by the end of this season. The long dry summer has not helped.

Project: Helpline services for the youth of Waitākere Ranges

Location:

13 Maidstone Street, Grey Lynn, auckland

Summary:

We request funding of $5,000 as a contribution to the Waitākere Ranges share of $12,660 of the annual cost of $444,624 in Auckland for Helpline services in support of young people in need in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area. 
The significant costs of the Helpline include Volunteer training, triage support, supervision and the telecommunications costs of operating the voice and text services.
After completing their 5 stage training pathway they advance to being solo counsellors where they receive triage support and supervision. Triage staff support, mentor and supervise the volunteers, with responsibility for ensuring the safety of young people who contact us. Supervision is an essential process whereby volunteers receive regular support, training and mentoring from more experienced supervisors.

Expertise:

Youthline has been supporting young people in need through our Helpline for 50 years and we have serious expertise in providing this support.
We have built up considerable knowledge and experience over this period such that we are recognised as the premier support service for young people in need. Our 250 helpline volunteer counsellors receive intensive training and close supervision.
In an evaluation of the Helpline in 2019, 84.9% of respondents felt helped by the service with 90.3% being satisfied or very satisfied. 61.7% had contacted the Helpline about mental health related issues.
“Honestly this is the best support I've ever received in my life”.
“It was amazing talking to Youthline. It made me feel worth something to the world”.

We would also like to invite local board members to visit our Helpline hub located at the Youthline Youth Development and Community Centre in Grey Lynn.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

For many of the vulnerable young people we work with the first contact point with us is through the Helpline and our volunteer counsellors. Many of the young people are vulnerable – they are disadvantaged, disillusioned and disengaged.
For many we are able to assist them with the issues they present at the time. For others we are able to link them with the help they need. We offer support services to encourage, motivate and inspire them to reach their full potential and create a resilient community. 
We aim to equip them with skills and insights on how to build self-esteem and improve mental-health, how to actively problem-solve, recover from setbacks and build resilience. We know that when young people feel connected to their community and valued by others they gain confidence and self-esteem.  This in turn provides them with the strength to make improved decisions, to think about the long term and reduces risk-taking behaviour.
Youthline aims to provide them with skills and strategies to help strengthen and improve the relationships they have with the significant adults they interact with, i.e. parents, whānau and teachers. If we can do this then the community in which they live will benefit.

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      Empower young people to realise their full potential and develop their leadership talent and job skill set

Youthline is a youth development organisation. We are a first point of contact for young people in New Zealand to access a wide range of youth development and support services and we have been supporting them since 1970. We operate a free, 24/7, nationwide Helpline where young people can contact us by phone, text and email.
 
Young people in need who contact Youthline through our Helpline often feel lonely, alone, disengaged and desperate. They often have no sense of belonging to family, school or community.
Youthline supports these young people, acknowledges their issues and is inclusive with a strengths-based, person-centred approach. We focus on both their wellness and wellbeing.
 
Youthline helpline staff respond to situations of low to high and imminent risk across all mediums of contact, providing a continuum of support and linking service users with other agencies in their own communities. Utilising and promoting Youthline's strengths-based, wrap around approach, Youthline staff are responsible for the quality assessment and management of clients (young people and their families), including those with high and complex needs.
 
Youthline services equip youth with skills and insights on how to build self-esteem and improve mental-health, how to actively problem-solve, recover from setbacks and build resilience. Counsellors link them with local support services to assist their ongoing development. Through their improved emotional and self-management skills young people are less likely to fall into helplessness, depression, addictive behaviours, dangerous relationships and unemployment.
 
For many, the Helpline provides a doorway to a range of personal development and life skills programmes offered by Youthline including personal development, job skills (e.g. barista training, CV writing and job applications) and leaner licence training. All designed to better equip young people to be active and productive members of their communities. 
 
From research and experience we know that when young people are engaged in community activities, linked with whanau, and given the opportunity to participate feel that they are part of something and encouraged to reach their potential, that risk taking behaviour is reduced.  Youthline works inclusively with youth, from those young people who are most vulnerable to youth leaders who are championing change.  Our clinical support workers counsel/mentor young people identified as needing one on one support to encourage and inspire them.  They aim to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each young person, then identify goals and milestones and develop a plan for successful implementation and progression. By walking beside a young person and providing positive role models Youthline aims to see every young person become a positive contributor to society with a strong sense of belonging to their local community.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Youthline provides support services to young people in need across the ethnic spectrum. In our last reporting period 16% of calls and texts to our Helpline presented as Maori which is slightly ahead of the 14% of young people aged 15-24 residing in the Auckland area who identify as Maori. For counselling, 10% of young people presenting are Maori which is proportionally low. 
 
All of our staff and volunteers are trained on the Treaty of Waitangi. Maori models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha inform our work with targets groups of rangatahi Maori. Youthline has a Maori working group (Nga Whetu Poutama) to guide Youthline to increase the organisation’s cultural capacity and inform the work that we do.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages

Youthline Auckland supports the Auckland Council’s Smokefree Policy and its commitment to working proactively with others towards making Auckland smokefree by 2025.  We have a smoke free policy in place and can offer support, advice and referrals to young people who wish to give up smoking. We ensure that the young people we work with are aware of our support for making Auckland smokefree and how we can help them if necessary.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$5000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting funding of $5,000 as a contribution to the Waitakare Ranges share of $12,660 of the annual cost of $444,624 in Auckland for Helpline services in support of young people in need in the Waitakare Ranges Local Board area.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We would not amend our plan per se, rather we would continue being extremely proactive in applying for funding from a wide range of funders. The direct cost of the Youthline Helpline will be $792,914 this year which includes the cost of triage support and supervision for our volunteer counsellors. We receive contract income from the MSD/Oranga Tamariki of $90,000 per year. We have to fundraise the balance of $702,914. This is why your support is so vital.

Additional information to support the application:

We are very appreciative of the previous support of the local board and would be very grateful if the board was able to contribute to the operating costs of our free, 24/7 crisis Helpline which is supporting young people in need in the Waitakare Ranges area. We are providing a vital service to young people in need of support. We are the only youth-oriented organisation providing this service in your area. There is nowhere else for these young people to turn to.
