Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

The community benefits provided by Auckland Softball include improved sporting programmes in the community for all regardless of age, gender or social standing. This is achieved by providing  a safe, healthy and social sporting environment for all participants from pre primary school age through to senior players. ASA players feel connected to where they live, proud to play softball for their local clubs and appreciate the opportunity provided to strive to represent their association to higher honours within Auckland and further afield.
ASA regularly hosts national and international tournaments at various venues across Auckland. These tournaments benefit the community when participants and supporters attend from outside the region and provide revenue to local businesses including food outlets and accommodation providers amongst others.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Community arts and events connect people and enhance community identity

Auckland Softball provides social and competitive sport for everyone. Our players range in age from 4 years old to 72 years old.  Over 70% of Auckland Softball's community are from Maori and Pasifika and lower socio economic communities. Receiving funding helps the ASA keep the cost to our players of participating in softball as low as possible. This in turn helps us to achieve the aim of keeping people from these communities engaged and involved, particularly in these post covid times. Our vision is to be the Summer Sport for all of the whanau and Softball is a sport where the whole family attends.

VisionWest Community Trust

Legal status:

Activity focus:

Conflicts of interest:

Project: Meri Kirihimete

Location:

Visionwest, 97 Glendale Road, Glen Eden, Auckland

Summary:

Meri Kirihimete supports the most vulnerable in our communities by helping address the poverty pain point of Christmas.
It provides direct relief in the form of food packages and small gifts for children, and by making it easier for whānau to access Special Needs Grants from WINZ who are located on site during the week-long event. 
As the event is in West Auckland, it allows more Aucklanders to access support within their local community – alleviating the need to travel to the city centre or South Auckland for help.
Because of the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19, core elements of Meri Kirihimete, including ensuring whānau have access to essential food parcels, are deliverable at alert levels up to Level 3.

Expertise:

Visionwest has successfully delivered this kind of large scale, whānau support project at Christmas for the last two years. We have worked successfully in partnership with Auckland City Mission, Nga Whare Waatea Marae, Papakura Marae, and Manurewa Marae.
In addition, we are the largest Food Support agency in West Auckland helping to alleviate the immediate stress of food poverty for thousands of families whilst connecting them up to long-term support such as budgeting, counselling, youth development and housing. We have a team of highly experienced staff and volunteers together with good networks of businesses, agencies, community organisations who are prepared to roll up their sleeves and help during Meri Kirihimete a success.

Promotion:

We will be utilising our own website and social media to promote Meri Kirihimete and share stories of impact and can include acknowledgement of Auckland Council and the Local Boards on some of these communications as appropriate. We will be undertaking leaflet drops and producing event signage and other collateral and, with your permission, can include the Local Board and/or Auckland Council logos on these items. In addition, there will be opportunities for Council and Local Board members to attend Meri Kirihimete at Visionwest to see first-hand the impact of the sponsorship and share images and commentary with their own networks and stakeholders.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Visionwest’s' Meri Kirihimete enables the West Auckland community to work together so Westies who are struggling can be supported at scale, within their own community.
In addition to providing immediate support to help whānau at Christmas, Visionwest’s' Meri Kirihimete links whānau who may never previously have sort help to the wider range of Visionwest services such as budgeting, counselling, youth development and housing. These services can help address the underlying issues of poverty and in so doing bolster resilience which in turn can lead to transformational change.
Because it brings together local people from all walks of life as volunteers, businesses, community organisations, agencies, and recipients of support; Visionwest’s' Meri Kirihimete has the added benefit of creating a sense of community care and belonging.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Support community-led initiatives that increase access to local, healthy, and affordable food

According to the recent Auckland Prosperity Index report, which measures the prosperity of all 21 Auckland local board areas, Henderson-Massey (and Whau) are experiencing deprivation levels similar to our struggling south Auckland neighbours.
 
In these areas, levels of education, job opportunities and income are well below the Auckland average while levels of unemployment are above the average. This means many whānau in West Auckland experience food poverty throughout the year, however the Christmas period, followed by school holidays and back to school expenses exacerbates underlying levels of food poverty creating a spike in need.
 
Visionwest works all year with food rescue organisations such as KiwiHarvest and Fair Food and these relationships are also called upon during the Christmas period to ensure healthy food is available for families locally. 
 
In addition Visionwest’s Meri Kirihimete event receives significant Gift-In-Kind food support from Auckland City Mission.
 
This allows us to meet the increased need at scale and at a local level, ensuring families can access healthy, nourishing food including fruits and vegetables, healthy proteins, dairy foods and pantry items together with some festive treats within their own neighbourhood. This removes the need for whānau to travel into the central city or out to South Auckland to access the food they need.
 
In addition to providing immediate support at Christmas, Visionwest’s' Meri Kirihimete also links whānau to the wider range of Visionwest services such as budgeting, counselling, youth development and housing – this helps address the long-term underlying causes of food poverty.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

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

Visionwest is journeying towards delivering services within a kaupapa Māori framework. This includes creating a place and way of working that embraces the whole person, listens to story, provides connection to community, and invites whānau into a journey of self-determination. Data from the 2020 Meri Kirihimete event indicated that 46% of whānau identified as Māori. Under the leadership of Fred Astle, Head of Māori Development, we continue to work to deliver Meri Kirihimete within our kaupapa Māori framework.
Pau Arahi Kaupapa Māori, Rawiri Auty, is part of the event leadership team and under his, and Fred’s leadership, Meri Kirihimete is focussing on ensuring mana of māori is upheld and authentic, enduring connections are established with māori whānau across West Auckland.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$24,145.59

Requesting grant for:

The total cost of Meri Kirihimete is $83,043 this excludes the majority of food and gift costs (which are contributed as Gift-in-Kind). We are seeking funding of $24,145.59 from this application towards some of the key logistical costs of Meri Kirihimete including hireage of equipment, security, SMS communication with clients/volunteers, and signage, together with a contribution towards project management costs. Other costs of the project will be funded through our own fundraising efforts, additional funding applications and through Gift-In-Kind contributions (see attached full project budget).

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

Meri Kirihimete is relied upon by thousands of Aucklanders and so we would do our absolute best to ensure it goes ahead in its full form by undertaking additional fundraising and seeking alternative sources of funding. As a last resort, we could reduce the numbers of people we support, however demand for help at Christmas already outstrips supply and so this option would mean Aucklanders would be turned away which would have a huge impact on their individual wellbeing and the wellbeing of their wider whānau and communities.

Project: Recruiting mentors for boys without a father in their lives

Location:

31 George Street, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024

Summary:

We will recruit, screen and train up to 50 more Auckland men as volunteer mentors (Big Buddies) for Auckland boys who do not have a dad in their lives. We will also continue to support the 310 active matches in Auckland. This will include telephone contact with mentors and caregivers, as well as in-person support when/if required. The volunteers will commit up t o3 hours a week to spend time with the boys, promising to: show up, spend time and come back when they promised to.

Expertise:

We have been doing this work since 1998 and have matched more than 1000 boys with a mentor. Our robust and extensive screening process means we have never had any safety issues. Screening includes not only a police check, but a professional psychological screening and interviews with multiple referees to ensure the man is safe and suitable to be left in sole charge of these vulnerable young boys.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Boys with a Big Buddy mentor in their lives are more confident and have better education outcomes. Caregivers consistently report their boys are better behaved and just happier. Having a positive male role model in their lives teaches the boys what it means to be a good man. They grow up to be valuable members of the community, able to love and care for their own families and contribute to the well-being of others.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Diversity and difference are embraced and valued

Boys with a Big Buddy in their lives are more confident, because they feel more secure. They’re willing to try new things. Their caregivers regularly report improved behaviour, better results at school and say that their boys are just happier. Big Buddy works from a relationship-mentoring model. This means men who volunteer as Big Buddies do not try to ‘fix’ Little Buddies. They simply stand alongside them and model positive male qualities.  The most important thing a Big Buddy can do is ‘show up’ and be themselves. This regular contact and genuine interest in a boy's life proves to be a real anchor for him as he grows up.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      No Māori outcomes identified

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - As part of our process to understand each boy's needs, we will take account of any disabilities and ensure the mentor he is matched with is suitable.

·      Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

We encourage participants to spend time together doing the things they both like. Usually that involves outdoor activities such as sports, recreation such as fishing, walking the dog or even mowing the lawn.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Our educational programme booklet encourages equity of access and opportunity for all adult learners and by offering a varied timetable of daytime, evening and weekend classes it improves accessibility for older adults, shift worker, the unemployed and young parents who might otherwise not be able to attend. The close proximity, affordability and brevity of the courses encourages disenchanted students to re-engage with education in a safe learning environment, while our system of discounts for returning students, along with our good will and local publicity helps encourage and develop habits of life-long learning. In addition its a great opportunity to connect and meet new people from your local community and many of the 400+ tutors that are employed live in the community and for skilled Migrants becoming a tutor is often am excellent stepping stone to future employment opportunities.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Community arts and events connect people and enhance community identity

Connecting with the community where you live is very important, and our various short courses are an excellent way to meet, connect and form new friendships/ relationships with others while upskilling at the same time, all of which adds to peoples feeling of stability and well being. The courses also offer opportunities for those who feel isolated to engage with other like minded people in a non-threatening environment.  
Feeling safe, stable and secure is central to our health and well being. When we feel safe, we find it easier to relax, do the things that comfort us, and focus on the work or study we need to do to help ensure our stability. Another benefit of enhanced community identity and to living in a supportive community is having support from others in times of uncertainties and in the current and future economic climate with Covid- 19 this is been seen as even more critical.

Project: Gift a Seat™ providing equitable access to arts and theatre

Location:

The PumpHouse Theatre, Manurere Avenue, Takapuna; Te Oro, 98 Line Road, Glen Innes; Playhouse Theatre, 15 Glendale Road, Glen Eden; Mangere Arts Centre, Corner Bader Drive and Orly Avenue, Mangere; and Vodafone Events Centre, 770 Great South Road, Wiri, Manukau

Summary:

The Tim Bray Theatre Company is seeking support from Auckland Council’s Local Boards for funding towards our Gift a Seat™ programme (including bus travel). Our Gift a Seat™ programme allows children from low decile schools and Childhood Education Centres (ECEs) to attend live theatre for free. We are seeking support to enable children from low-decile schools and ECEs to attend one or both of our next two shows, Roald Dahl’s The Twits (October 2021) and The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch (April/May 2022). These shows are based on much-loved children’s literature and will be world-class theatre productions.

Expertise:

Celebrated as Auckland’s leading theatre for children, Tim Bray Theatre Company (TBTC) have been at the forefront of the industry for 30 years. As a registered charitable trust, we are guided by a strong board, management team and strategic plan. We have been making a difference in Auckland communities through our Gift a Seat™ programme and Auckland tours. We focus on improving wellbeing by increasing equitable access to and promoting participation in the arts.    
 
The PumpHouse Theatre in Takapuna has been our 'base' since 2004. We found that low decile schools were declining the Gift a Seat™ opportunity as travel costs and/or travel time to Takapuna was prohibitive. Taking the shows to local theatre venues makes live theatre more accessible.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Gift a Seat™ is at the cornerstone of our organisation, enabling us to provide free tickets to children from low decile schools and ECEs. Local board support will help promote equality by ensuring that Auckland children from all backgrounds can experience the joys and learning benefits that live theatre offers.  
 
Teachers are supported to make the most of the theatre experience with free, comprehensive, cross-curricular Teachers’ Resource Guide delivered in two parts, before and after the show. This guide not only assists the teacher in providing quality arts learning, but interweaves learning across all subject learning to support an inquiry approach to teaching. This resource guide extends the initial theatrical experience and provides teachers with the support to build on knowledge and inspire tamariki to be the next generation of arts supporters’ practitioners and creative thinkers. Beyond curricular learning, teachers have fed back on improved social competencies developed through the confidence building of acting, enhanced imaginative play and collaboration.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Community arts and events connect people and enhance community identity

We have built strong relationships with schools in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area, who have been coming to our shows for many years. The Henderson-Massey area is a diverse and multicultural community and schools develop their curricular to engage and inspire their learners in ways that are relevant to their school community. However, equitable access to the arts for children is an ongoing issue nationally, and children from low decile schools are particularly affected.  We want to ensure that tamariki in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area have equal opportunities to attend a high-quality live theatre production by continuing to offer low decile schools in your area free tickets through our Gift a Seat™ programme.  We also expect the performances to be well attended by high decile schools. This gives tamariki from all backgrounds the opportunity to come together to enjoy our inspiring theatre performance. By funding Gift a Seat™ tickets, you are helping to connect students and enhance their sense of community identity beyond any financial limitations.  
 
 This exert from a thank you letter (and others attached) shows the value of attending these performances.   
 
“I just wanted to let you know our children had the most wonderful time today at the production. As always, the show was outstanding - and the surprise at the end – WoW. ... 103 happy lions and lionesses went home tired but happy.  Same with the teachers. Thank you yet again to your wonderful gift-a-seat programme for the opportunity to go.” Theresa McCreight, Manurewa Central School.  
The Covid pandemic has, for many, exacerbated financial, emotional and physical stress, meaning that experiences with a cost are often avoided. On top of this, the whānau of low decile schools are not able to pay for trips and school resources are already stretched. Research supports diverse experiences beyond the classroom as a way to help engage tamariki in their education. Our shows provide teachers and tamariki with the tools, language and inspiration to tell their own stories through theatre and the arts. At TBTC we fire young imaginations and ignite the creative minds of tomorrow, deepening and expanding their cultural awareness as we do so.  
 
Our Gift a Seat™ outreach programme creates equitable access to the arts to inspire children and young people from all backgrounds and abilities to be confident and creative through New Zealand theatre.  
 
Teachers are supported to make the most of the Gift a Seat™ experience with free, comprehensive, cross-curricular Teachers’ Resource Guide delivered in two parts, before and after the show. This guide not only assists the teacher in providing quality arts learning, but interweaves learning across all subject learning to support an inquiry approach to teaching. This resource guide extends the initial theatrical experience and provides teachers with the support to build on knowledge and inspire tamariki to be the next generation of arts supporters’ practitioners and creative thinkers.  
 
The value of a fun and engaging theatre experience when inspiring and shaping the future aspirations of our tamariki cannot be understated, particularly when cost is removed as a barrier. Helen Mowat (Deputy Principal, Royal Road School) reiterated this sentiment, and the benefits of being able to bring the theatre experience back into the classroom through the Teacher Resource Guides.  
 
“Productions of The Twits and The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch will create dynamic experiences for children, sitting in large audiences. Teacher Resource Guides will facilitate the transfer of outcomes from the theatre experience to the classroom. “ 
 
Schools in the local area will have the opportunity to attend our shows at Glen Eden Playhouse, thus greatly reducing the cost of transport. Some of these schools will require additional support with bus funding. Our application also includes a contribution to bus transport (see attached budget and example invoices). We have scaled our contribution for transport to consider factors such as distance to venue, options for different bus operators and past bus use. Closer venues reduce transport costs, therefore making theatre more accessible.

Yes - Our Gift a Seat™ programme supports children from Make-A-Wish NZ, Ko Taku Reo deaf Education (NZ Sign Language Interpreted Performances) and blind and sight impaired children from BLENNZ (Audio Described Performances). Accessible performances cater for children’s different needs so that they can access live theatre in a way that works for them. Our most recent initiatives include Sensory Relaxed performances, in partnership with Children’s Autism Foundation, and free storytelling events in libraries across Auckland. Our theatres all have disability access provisions.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Smoke Free - We request that any of our cast or crew who smoke do not smoke in view of the audience coming to see our shows as they are role models to our young audiences. All theatres are smoke-free environments.  
 
Waste Minimisation - We store previous sets, props and costumes from our shows. We adapt, reuse and recycle these as much as possible in each new production. To reduce paper, since 2018, we have sent our quarterly newsletter to 4,000 families electronically. 
 
Healthy options - No food or drink is supplied by us at the theatres.  
 
Active lifestyles - In the show children and adults see very physical performances from our cast, and get to meet the sweaty actors after the show. We often hear how children recreate scenes from our shows at home.

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting partial funding of our Gift a Seat™ programme (including some bus travel) for 3006 children from low decile schools and ECEs to attend one or both of our productions of 'The Twits' (from 1.10.21 to 13.11.21) and 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch' (planned for April/May 2022).

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

We are seeking funding for our Gift a Seat™ programme from multiple funders. Our aim is to provide as many free tickets as there are applications. For A Lion in the Meadow we gained funding for 1898 free tickets. We hope to fund at least 3000 Gift a Seat™ tickets for each of our upcoming shows. Currently low decile schools and ECEs across Auckland have requested 4098 Gift a Seat™ tickets, significantly more than we can currently fund. We believe in the value of our Gift a Seat™ programme and hope to gain funding to help inspire many more tamariki.

Project: SVA Kids Programme Volunteer Project

Location:

Schools and Communities through out Auckland

Summary:

SVA Kids is a recreation with purpose project or programme operating in primary schools across the Auckland Region. IT gives them the opportunity to learn how to work together. Operating in terms two and three the students select a project to carry out after brain storming and, voting on and organising a specific  project.  This low cost but high involvement approach is designed to enable students of all abilities, backgrounds and to learn project management skills that will assist in giving them life long participation in the community.

Expertise:

The SVA has been organising and promoting SVA Kids (formerly SVA Schools) for many years and at secondary and tertiary level. We are now probably the leading organisation that promotes and creates at primary, secondary and tertiary level with systems, processes, experience and knowledge at organising, planning and funding  and delivering to over 400 hundred schools and tertiary institutions and the community. This include disaster relief assistance, environmental projects, sports coaching, community based and whanau projects or assistance.  If you were to look on our website https://sva.org.nz/school-program/ and click on view completed projects you will see what primary schools have achieved under our strategy and guidance.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

The outcomes are weighted towards an more physical activity approach, connecting wit their environment and community and drawing them together as young Aucklanders to be more active more often, as well as the volunteering itself.
 
However the thousands of hours of volunteer hours adds value to the community or people benefiting including the environment, family and the school.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Support and enable communities and schools involved in pest-free, water quality and biodiversity initiatives

Many of the projects are related to these very issues, besides being a learning experience for students. One such venture included a school where after the national lockdown in 2020, students noticed that Tui and Kereru returned. They wanted them to stay so the students made bird feeders, planted native trees and made tracking tunnels for checking introduced pests. Other examples of voluntary work are beach and natural waterway clean ups, and tree planting projects.

Location:

Keith Hay Park, 63 Arundel Street, Mount Roskill, Auckland 1041

Summary:

Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is a non-competitive sporting event that encourages Kiwi kids of all abilities to 'Give it a TRY'. Participants aged 7-15 years complete a swim, bike and run course at the end of which they are presented with a medal for participation by celebrity sporting ambassadors. The event hub is our event village area where our stage, food vendors and sponsor activity marquees are set up for participants to enjoy throughout the event's duration. At the conclusion of the event, a prize giving is held in the event village where sponsor prizes are awarded to participants and school groups through a randomized draw.

Expertise:

SMC Events Ltd, who runs the event on behalf of Sanitarium and the Weet-Bix Foundation, have been managing a number of events, both large and small, nationwide for over 20 years. SMC Events have been involved in the organising and delivery of the Sanitarium

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Helping our community to enjoy a better life is part of the Sanitarium mission. That’s why statistics on childhood obesity and physical inactivity rates are something we had to respond to. We own and operate a national event that aims to get more people moving
more often. Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon - the largest kids' triathlon series on the planet, tours nationally from December to April each year. It isn't about being sporty or winning. It's all about getting out there and giving it a go, and having fun with family. Above all, it's about inclusiveness, building self-confidence and instilling a love of physical activity that will last a lifetime.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Henderson-Massey

·      Community arts and events connect people and enhance community identity

The Weet-Bix TRYathlon is a fun day for kids, their families and schools, encouraging an active lifestyle and community spirit. Many school groups run training sessions for their kids  in the lead up to the event. Our post-event surveys show that most participants experience a boost in confidence and self-esteem after taking part in the TRYathlon.

The Foundation identified last year the local schools around the West Auckland Weet-Bix event to have multiple barriers that stop children from entering the event (entry price, available equipment and transportation). Last year we were granted funding from the Henderson/Massey board to get these low decile schools involved. Due to lack of resource we were unable to roll out the program. This year Sanitarium is donating resource to the Weet-Bix Foundation to achieve the goal of breaking down barriers and letting all children to have the opportunity to participate.  We are confident achieve that this year.
