Under the umbrella of Glen Eden Community House

Legal status:

Informal group/ no legal structure

Activity focus:

Community

Conflicts of interest:

None identified

Project: Christmas Hampers for the Elderly

Location:

Glen Eden

Summary:

we will organise and deliver Christmas bags filled with treats for local elderly, who live in  two of our  Glen Eden Villages -  Westview Village and Harmony Village. Total numbering 82 units. We plan to have a Christmas morning tea for the residents to attend and collect their bags of goodies
.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Christmas can be a lonely time of the year for our elderly and some, often have very little in the way of food or company and this small gesture will make a difference of having something nice to eat or share on/or around Christmas day. This year has been even harder for our elderly due to the Covid lockdowns and being able to give them an extra treat will hopefully enhance their well being

Alignment with local board priorities:

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

Greater Glen Eden (GGE) is a local community initiative committed to joining up people who live and work in the area to help make Glen Eden an ever better place to live!

This event will proceed regardless of any Covid levels, as we will be able to deliver the bags setting up a con tactless process.
We held this event in 2019 as a trial which was very successful, the group would like to have this as an annual activity, growing it each year. GGE had envisaged asking for more support from our local business or donations, as everyone is hurting due to the Covid lock-downs, we are hopeful to fund the project and help support our local business in purchasing what we need from them for the bags

The encouragement for families to take their children out and about and socializing will help them with the confidence to participate in further education. We would be providing a safe, friendly environment for our tamariki. Our playgroup caters to our diverse community including Māori and Pasifika children as well as low income families. 
Giving our children the opportunity to experience and learn in fun, creative and sometimes messy ways!
In August 2020 I had a family join playgroup where an 18-month-old had not done painting previously. Yet coming to playgroup provided this child with an opportunity to experience and learn then started a whole new conversation of kindergarten options. So not just helping the child but also the parent. Having an end of year party for our children to finish the year on a positive note

Alignment with local board priorities:

This year has been a challenge for everyone with the introduction of Covid 19,   Our once flourishing playgroup is feeling the effects of covid-19 lockdowns and our attendance has reduced drastically, which effect our income from funders, donations parents contribute and not being able to hold our fundraising events which all helps to contribute to our administration and  end of year function for our children. 
The children and their families deserve something to look forward to in these uncertain times.

Project: Bishop Stream Neighbourhood Garden

Location:

Wirihana Rd,

Summary:

Maintenance of existing garden, replace grapevine frame and fencing wire, provide removeable waterproof shelter over table in rain conditions.  Add pathways, boarded and gravelled through orchard area, as for 9 months of the year this steep, wet and slippery area is a health and safety issue for all plot holders but especially the older members and one in a wheel chair. Rebuild the frame that the water tanks sit on as these are now 10 years old and need replacing.  The first fruit trees purchased were 'Heritage' trees, but are not as disease resistant or as productive as modern hybrids, so a gradual replacement of trees will take place along sider lower-reach produce such as berries which are more accessible.

Summary:

To run weekly sessions of Friday Club and CONNECT FC during the school terms – in total 30-35 in the year.
Each programme will provide quality care for children; afternoon tea; time in a child’s regular small group to connect with their leader, get to know others, share how things are going for them and explore beneficial life issues connected to our term theme; a space for parents to relax in and get to know each other; mentoring for teenage leaders; a wide range of activities including active games, cooking, craft, science…

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

•           Connecting children and families in our community together – helping them to get to know each other, thereby making our community stronger.
•           Helping children and families when they are going through hard times by: individual leader support of children; providing a safe place to talk about how you are both for children in their small groups and adults in the adult afternoon tea area; supporting teenagers in our community by providing a safe connection place, leadership development, opportunity for work experience for CVs, references, scholarship applications; supporting families who are facing challenges (through our meal support Homemade, our Op Shop…)
•           Intentional inclusion of children and young leaders with special needs, anxiety, depression, isolation…
•           Becoming like an extended family environment in our community, providing nurture and support. Long term safe connections are built. Many children become our leaders as teenagers; participate in our youth programmes like our weekly Small Group Dinners, come to us for support with job and scholarship applications… Our children, youth and their families are supported with resilience and well-being by what Friday Club provides in our community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

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

We do this by:
•           Running a weekly after school programme for Primary and Intermediate children with a Walking Bus down to it from our local school.
•           Caring for children and their families: We currently have 40 children from 25 families regularly attending Friday Club. We celebrate children’s special occasions (like birthdays) and offer support in their hard times. We are a place where children and their families can connect and get to know each other, so we help to make our community strong. During Friday Club we provide afternoon tea and a comfortable place to relax for adults where they can meet and get to know other parents in our community. We work hard at including and caring for children with special needs. We have successfully cared for children with autism, severe allergy issues, and significant behavioural issues.  A parent of one of these children said to us recently ‘I can’t tell you what it means to us as a family that you are willing to include our child at Friday Club.’ We have also provided home activity packs and online Chat Group support for all our children and their families during both COVID lock down periods.
•           Mentoring Children and helping them grow to their full potential: Each child has a Friday Club Leader who specially looks out for them and gets to know them. Many children have been with the same leader for several years and this leader has become a trusted and significant person in that child’s life. We run craft, cooking, science, technical and sports activities which develop the children’s skills and confidence.
•           Leadership training for youth in our community: We currently have 16 wonderful teenage leaders– male and female- and they are great role models for the children, who love being with them. Many of these leaders have grown up through Friday Club and now want to come back as leaders. We run a regular training programme for our teenage leaders, in which we teach leadership skills and group management. We also give our teenage leaders mentoring support during Friday Club sessions and support their resilience and well-being as they make a secure place for themselves in life.  
•           Helping children to build security and resilience: Each term we have different fun theme. You can see some of these themes in the PDF about Friday Club which is attached to our application. We use the theme as a focus for art and craft, games and imagination. We also build a small group time into Friday Club where children have a chance to explore thoughts about life (in the context of this theme) with their small group leader and talk about how things are going for them.
•           Having fun and enjoying being community: Whether cooking up treats, experiencing amazing science experiments, playing a board game, creating something to be proud of, or burning up energy in active games, we have so much fun. The children make new friends, learn new skills and experience belonging.

This is a continuing journey and priority for us. We always provide water, and only have other drinks at our annual Christmas Party and Birthday Party. We run a cooking activity which covers a range of foods including healthy options: we have made fun shaped eggs, celery caterpillars, banana dolphins, mandarin snails...Every session we run 30 - 40 minutes of active games. The children also walk to Friday Club on our Walking Bus. We display smoke-free signs and no-one smokes on-site.

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

We would have to look for other funding sources. The reality is that we can only run Friday Club if we get enough funding to run it from all our fundraising, grant applications, community donations and designated gifts. It is always hard work achieving the funding we need, that is why we would appreciate local board support

Cost of participation:

No. About half our families donate a small amount. Children are able to attend without making any donation.

Project: Purchase of NZ made sustainable toys

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Our toy library is open to members across the local community, where they can come and for an affordable price hire out toys on a two weekly cycle, these two new toys we are wanting to purchase will help to attract new members and retain members, as the two toys we are wanting to purchase are very much in vogue. Although our Base is in Green Bay we draw members from  the Waitākere Ranges Local board area.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Inspire and support residents and visitors to make everyday sustainable living choices and reduce factors that contribute negatively to climate change.

A Big part of our community toy library is moving to a sustainable future by re using, where we purchase quality toys that are re used by many many families, thus avoiding the need for individuals to buy plastic toys that will then at some stage end in landfill. We have made a conscious effort to support NZ made and also wooden toys for this grant as these last a lot longer rather than ending up as land fill!

Project: Rongoa Making Traditional Maori Herbal Balms and Teas for Health

Location:

Various locations in Glen Eden/WRLB area

Summary:

The Becoming Financially Fit ‘Rongoa – Making Traditional Maori Herbal Balms and Teas for Health and Wellbeing’ is a free 6 week course to introduce participants to the world of Rongoa Maori, and the tikanga involved in learning Rongoa. It focuses on getting to
know the ngahere (the bush), how to identify the plants and trees that grow there, and the tikanga (traditional practices) of traditional Maori medicine and how the plants and trees were harvested and used for health and wellbeing. Traditional and contemporary aspects of Rongoa are discussed and how Rongoa is used today to support the health and wellbeing of the Whanau. In this FREE course, participants are shown how to create simple tinctures,panipani (balms) soaps

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

The course is designed and run by a Maori kaiako who practices Rongoa herself. The course focuses on tikanga and mātauranga of traditional Maori Rongoa and te reo is used extensively throughout the course. Many Maori within our community value the course and regularly contact us for dates and times of upcoming courses so that they can share with friends and whanau. The course enables the community to reconnect with the old teachings of their tupuna (many can remember their kuia making traditional balms and remedies when they were younger) and they are keen to bring back that knowledge. For others, the course enables them to connect with others, learn new skills and learn more about Maori traditional health and wellbeing. The course is free and enables the community to discuss their health concerns, learn more about where to go for affordable healthcare (we have discovered many people use A&E as their primary health care provider which is very costly, learn about the benefits of having a dedicated doctor (subsidised health care), free prescription charges and ways in which they can access free checkups (i.e. blood pressure, cervical, breast screening) for themselves and family.

Alignment with local board priorities:

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

The Rongoa Maori Course project fits within many of the Local Board priorities and ensures Mana Whenua and Mataawaka aspirations are achieved. The course reflects our many heritages, as many cultures have some form of traditional therapies, and this course enables the community to learn and be able to tell others about our local taonga - our Maori Rongoa. Our parks and recreational services provide a range of accessible experiences for our diverse community (we visit a local park to identify ngahere (native trees and plants) that are used in Rongoa Maori). Our community is inspired and supported to make everyday sustainable living choices and reduce factors that contribute negatively to climate change. The course teaches about growing different plants for the purpose of Rongoa, and how to make Rongoa at home, reducing the cost for families, and the environment. The community is supported to be healthy and safe and people feel that they are valued, connected and they belong (788 participants joined our courses in 2019 to meet people in their community, connect with others - more so after the emotional impact of COVID19, and learn new skills). The main priority for this project is that people know each other and feel connected in their neighbourhoods (and to the whenua and tangata whenua).

Alignment with local board priorities:

We would like to continue to hire a commercial compost bin for the next year, to be located at Woodlands Park School for use by the wider local community.  The project was started in early 2019, thanks to a previous grant from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board.  Use of the community commercial compost bin increased over the year.  Once grant funding came to an end, the bin has continued to be funded by private donations until now.  Many households in the Woodlands Park/Titirangi area already compost food waste, however the commercial compost bin allows for the disposal of compostable packaging as well as foods like meat and dairy, which are less suited to home composting.  The community commercial compost bin encourages waste minimisation and supports zero waste practices.
