Activity focus:

Sport and recreation

Project: Junior Cricket Coaching

Location:

Windsor Park

Summary:

A programme where all Junior players will attend coaching sessions during the week run
by experienced, qualified coaches who are also senior cricketers at the club. In addition we
are running a programme to uplift the skills of parent coaches who will be running the
teams at matches on Saturdays. We believe this will ensure that all our young players have
the necessary skills to fully participate in matches resulting in a more enjoyable cricketing
experience.

Expertise:

The Club is very experienced in delivering cricket programmes.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

More children playing cricket especially females.
Children receiving better coaching which will lead to them being better at playing and thus
cricket will be more enjoyable for them. The more they enjoy it the more likely they are to
stick with playing thus they will remain active in their recreation pursuits.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Provide a range of play and active recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities in our parks, reserves, and coastal environment

 

The Club has identified an opportunity to get into schools and provide cricket coaching.
There is a specific focus on engaging with female cricketers - an area where the Club has
not been strong in the past. The Club has identified the growth in the number of female
cricketers as a key strategic initiative.
The Club has also identified a need to provide better coaching. In the past our Junior teams
have been coached primarily by parent coaches who had differing levels of experience,
qualification and ability. This resulted in some teams receiving quality coaching and a
positive experience, however this was not the case for others. We have therefore introduced
a programme this season, where all Junior players will attend coaching sessions during
the week run by experienced, qualified coaches who are also senior cricketers at the club.
In addition we are running a programme to uplift the skills of parent coaches who will be running the teams at matches on Saturdays. We believe this will ensure that all our
young players have the necessary skills to fully participate in matches resulting in a more
enjoyable cricketing experience.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Educating the community about the benefits of exercise in: 
Reducing, preventing and managing chronic health conditions  - Improving cardiovascular fitness and endurance, flexibility and strength
- Encouraging the community to be participating in group exercises and also individualized safe exercise
- Assisting the community to make healthy lifestyle changes, primarily increasing physical activity (group classes, individual exercise, participation in sports and hobbies) but also education around healthy nutrition, stress and anxiety management skills
- Reducing the risk of falls within the community
- Encouraging the involvement of the community in future fundraising events
- Creating a fun, safe space for members of the community with cancer or in remission to work on their goals and integrate back into their community 
- Participants can share personal experiences and provide support for each other to build a stronger sense of inclusion and resilience

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Hibiscus and Bays communities are supported, connected and vibrant

 

Our programs will support those with cancer and recovering from cancer so they may return to a more active lifestyle thus returning their independence, self worth and quality of life. Our programs are designed and developed using current research and evidence based practice for the oncology population and will improve a person(s) exercise tolerance, strength, confidence, flexibility, function and enable them to return to their previous roles, hobbies and/or sports they had prior to their diagnosis.
 
The oncology population group have a higher risk of co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, lymphoedema, recurrence of cancer and poor mental health prognosis. There is a vast amount of research to show exercise can prevent these conditions, so enabling our patients to have access to safe and supervised exercise programs will minimize co-morbidities and
reduce mortality within our cancer population in our community.

Health screenings are done on assessment and prior to enrolment in classes. If participants are identified as smokers, smoking cessation and education is offered to all community attendees.
Participants are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles to classes to minimize plastic waste
Education sessions are incorporated into the programs which discuss healthy food and drink options to refuel the body pre and post exercise
Our clinic and therapists promote active lifestyles, encouraging the community to be participating in daily exercise/movement/classes based on their physical capabilities. We are all active therapists and lead by example, participating in sports within the community
(rugby, kitesurfing, running, yoga, Pilates, walking and cycling groups).
Stand up paddle boarding is a great way to enjoy the water but also be environmentally friendly. No carbon emissions needed to appreciate nature and our beautiful Hibiscus coast.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

The PINC and Steel programs are targeted to any person(s) in the oncology population from their cancer diagnosis to 10 years post treatment. We specifically work with ages from teenage years, to adults and seniors. Our fitness programs are designed to assist any participant with any form of cancer diagnosis throughout their cancer journey and the one-on-one medical assessment completed prior to class registration determines what level is appropriate and if they are safe to attend a community group class at that time. There may be liaising with their medical team to ensure participant safety. Goal setting and outcome measures are also taken at this time to track progress and provide data to ensure classes are effective and achieving patient goals. Patient outcome surveys are sent post class completion to the participants from Pinc and Steel to be able to give the instructor feedback to continue to grow and develop in this profession and meet standards.

wishing to carry out community/youth-based activities who require safe and accessible venues and equipment
for events. The programmes that we offer, cater to the boys and girls development in the physical, emotional,
spiritual and mental aspects of their lives in an appropriately safe environment where they are encouraged to
be themselves, work together and thrive. Scouts help each other and their communities - creating a better
world - one positive action at a time.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Provide a range of play and active recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities in our parks, reserves, and coastal environment

 

Orewa Sea Scouts welcome young people and volunteers from all backgrounds, and with us, they learn and share skills, enjoy engaged and varied programme of activities, honour the Scout values and become active citizens of a connected community.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The group goes out of its way to address the needs of individuals and to work with youth with varied abilities. It is very much a situation that requires a needs assesment for individual situations to asses what changes need to be made for that individual to take part.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Orewa Sea Scouts are a smoke free facility. We aim to provide a varied fun programme of activities often outdoor. Scouts learn by doing and an outcome of our programme is to become physically active with courage to try new things and support kids to become resilient and confident.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Scouting specifically supports youth aged 5-18. We welcome young people and volunteers from all backgrounds

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$10000.00

Requesting grant for:

Updated equipment.
This includes helmets for sailing. These will ensure everyone is safe while tramping and out on the water. Tents to allow all to attend camps as a group and hiking tents to open up the opportunity for overnight hikes as smaller groups

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

We are currently fundraising to get all our gear up to date. We have boats needing maintenance and work. We also have new lifejackets that will be coming to the end of their life soon and a list of other maintenance needing to be done to our facilities. We have highlighted these items requested in the grant as our current top priority. If the board approve it we can get these items and move on to the next items that need to be addressed. If the grant is declined we would have to wait until funds have been raised first.

Cost of participation:

This would be included in the normal Sea Scouts programme fee

Project: Christmas on the Canal 2022 and Gulf Harbour Easter 2023

Location:

Gulf Harbour Village Centre

Summary:

Two FREE community events: One celebrating Christmas and the second Easter. Local schools, businesses and families in our community are invited to attend and participate in a fun, social day at the Gulf Harbour village. Christmas lights draw families into the village centre to walk around and enjoy the lights. The activities and
attractions focus mainly on providing free, safe entertaining experiences for children and families.

Expertise:

We have organised and run Christmas in the Canal and the Gulf Harbour Easter community events three times before. We managed the large scale community events from conception all the way through delivery and pack up.

Dates:

03/12/2022 - 16/04/2023

In Wentworth School and Gulf Harbour Schools newsletters that go to the parents as well as on the school's intranet broadcast. We will also put posters up in our town village area and on business windows. 
We will include the council Logo as our Main Supporter
During the event repeatedly announce to the public the Council Support

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The events draw people to gather in our village centre. They generate feelings of well being, mutual support, community spirit, and fun. Social benefits are made when children play with one another on the bouncy castles or with the outdoor games. The physical activities get children moving. Families can picnic, listen to music and watch performances. It encourages connection. The Gulf Harbour School Kapa Haka group and other local choirs are invited to perform. People also have the opportunity to volunteer to help and give back to their community in this way, this generates feelings of wellbeing. We collaborate with local businesses, families and schools to pool resources and run activities for the day so there are good networking opportunities too. Economic benefits are realised by local cafes and restaurants through the increased visitors. The food pantry on offer provides free staple food items for any families in need. Chaplains are available to speak to anybody who feels they need a person to talk to. There are no other community events
in the Gulf Harbour/Army Bay area, except these two events.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Hibiscus and Bays communities are supported, connected and vibrant

 

We plan 2 free community events for the Whangaparaoa Peninsula Residents: A Christmas Celebration In December 2022 and an Easter Celebration in April 2023. We collaborate with businesses on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula so that they can participate on the day either by supplying services, by sponsoring something to advertise their company, or by offering specials. We pool our resources and gather volunteers to create and run events for the 2 celebrations. We want to decorate our village with Christmas lights so that it looks inviting at night and encourage people to walk around and take a look.  Locals are encouraged to come out with children and join in the festivities, plus there are also increased visitors to the area as people come to Gulf Harbour for the event. This benefits local businesses because they get increased customers visiting their premises and buying goods. The businesses also have opportunities to market and advertise their products or services during the events, strengthening business resilience and providing economic benefits. The Christmas and Easter days are held both outdoors and indoors in the Gulf Harbour Centre. The Coast Guard and the local police are invited. It promotes connectedness and wellbeing in our community. Families come out for the free events and enjoy the outdoors. We promote sun safety, smoke free, alcohol free and litter free environments. The local schools participate too and we can watch kapa haka groups perform as well as the school choirs, dancers and gymnasts. It is a fun, vibrant day where many different local groups collaborate to run a successful event.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Easy to navigate spaces on the level, with wide and open entry ways and paths. Lots of open space. The events occur at mid day and the environment is well lit. Music is not played indoors, it is only played outdoors. We will also keep our Vine church space as a quiet zone, with chairs to sit in and free tea available. This provides a calm, quiet space that people could retreat to if they do not tolerate noise.  Large print signage used. Event is open to whole community, inclusive of 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 zone signs
Extra Rubbish bins distributed through out the area in addition to existing bins, and regularly checked and emptied if needed
Free Water drinking station provided and people are encouraged to use it.
All the activities are physical except the crafts. (eg Bouncy castle and sports games) Families encouraged to walk down to village centre from their houses if living near by. We hope to have skateboarding professionals there giving skateboard demos, encouraging youth to skate.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

This free community event is for any and all genders that wish to participate.
The activities we provide are aimed mainly at children and their families - both young family members as well as grandparents. 
All ethnicities are included.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$8400.00

Requesting grant for:

THe purchase of commercial grade Christmas lighting to light up our town centre at night. 
Funding so that we can hire equipment for children to play on (like bouncy castles) or both the Christmas and Easter Events.
Funding to improve health and safety, signage and advertising for the events.

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

We will be unable to provide Christmas lights to our village. Gulf Harbour village will remain bare of Christmas decorations in our town centre. We would have no bouncy castles or large outdoor games for families to play on during the Events. The events would be smaller with less signage, no gazebo for shade and fewer activities. We would not offer hand sanitizers, or have an industrial size first aid kit on hand.

Additional information to support the application:

We receive requests via social media from locals in our community asking us to put on these events. We received messages requesting community events because covid has had a tough impact on businesses and families. THere are no other community events like this in our area. We were unable to run the two events last year due to covid restrictions. We had to alter what we offered our community.

Project: Repair Café Orewa

 

Location:

Orewa Community Center

 

Summary:

A repair café is an event where people can bring their broken and damaged belongings and local experts sit down with them and do their best to repair them. It's about connecting local people with volunteers from their communities who are happy to share their skills and knowledge, saving people money and reducing waste by repairing instead of replacing (buying new). Our volunteers have the skills to service and fix bicycles, electronics, furniture and clothing. by offering a free, repeated repair café events communities will come and get their items repaired and start using them again! We are trying to approach schools and communities to set up regular events across Auckland to benefit the community.

 

Expertise:

DEANZ has already organized a number of Repair Cafes around Auckland. Current we are running 3 main Repair Cafes in New Lynn, Te Atatu South, and K RoaD. We also have a number of partnered schools (Newton Central School, Summerlands Primary Schol) as well as potential Repair Cafes in South Auckland. All our Repair Cafes are FREE events for the community and offer free repairs for the community members. 
 
These events are all funded through community boards or the school themselves, so without funding we cannot organize these events.

Promotion:

We will be able to include the local board logo on all printed advertising including the feather flag, corflute signs and online event promotion. Currently we also tell guests who attend repair cafes who supports our these events, which makes locals happy to hear that their local community is putting on free events for them.

 

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The benefits of the project cafes are threefold for the community. Firstly, when broken items are bought in to be fixed, it saves people money because they do not need to buy replacement items. Secondly, for every item which can be fixed, it is one less item that will go to landfill and it will reduce household waste. Lastly, the repair cafe is a place for the community to come together to chat and educate each other, bringing social connectivity for locals who may feel disconnected in the modern day community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Support communities to live more sustainably, and prepare for the impacts of climate change

 

DEANZ have been hosting a number of repair cafes around Auckland which offer communities free services to repair their broken household items. The repair cafes that DEANZ host are community led events where we gather a number of volunteers from the community who are experts in their fields, and offer their expertise to repair items for the community. The events which we hold are free to attend and bring community members to help locals relove their household items again.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The venue which we select must have disable access for people with disabilities. The event is open to all people

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

The concept of the repair café is to promote re-use of older household goods which may not be in a good condition. From our monthly repair café eventswe have seen amazing demand from the community to repair things such as clothing, school bags, laptops, and other electrical items which would otherwise end up in landfill. For every item we can not repair we offer possible solutions for the guests to try or point them in the right direction for how to get their items fixed. Repair cafes and waste minimization goes hand in hand.
 
Bicycles and kids scooters are one of the many things that get fixed at the repair café. At the event we offer free bicycle servicing which allows the community to have safer bikes which are in better condition. Sometimes there may be a small thing that is wrong with the bike that people do not know how to fix, but with the knowledge of the expert repairers, we will help and educate them so they can use their equipment without worry and feel safer for it. Having working bicycles and scooters will encourage the equipment to be used for sports and transportation, encouraging an more active lifestyle.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

No, the free Repair Cafe events are held at a central location for the area. The event is FREE for all community members and locals so there will be no limitations on who can come.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$4600.00

Requesting grant for:

We would like to apply for some one time cost items (Such as teardrop flags, corflute signs and some specialized equipment for the event) as well as some recurring costs once the repair cafe gets going such as consumables used for repairs and advertising. We would like to better support the volunteer repairers by providing better resources, more options for consumables for purchase as well as provide some food as the event occurs between 10:30am to 2:30pm. Some of the repairers are hungry at the end of the event.

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

If the project is only partially funded, there will be a significant reconsideration for the number of free repair services that we can make for community members. We would have to reduce the number of volunteer stations and therefore limit the number of items that we can repair for free for the community. We may have to also cut some repair stations alltogether (i.e stop servicing bikes or general repair stations) to reduce on-going costs.

Cost of participation:

none, it is a completely free event for the community

Project: Ongoing Youthline support for Hibiscus & Bays youth under COVID

Location:

Youthline North Shore 28 Dodson Avenue, Milford, Auckland

Summary:

We are requesting $8,000 as a contribution to the Hibiscus & Bays share of the $11,801 of the annual budgeted cost of $201,412 to provide clinical support for our volunteer counsellors who staff the Youthline Helpline in support of young people in the area. 
Clinical triage staff support, mentor and supervise our Helpline volunteer counsellors, and have responsibility for ensuring the safety of young people who contact us.
COVID-19 has increased the demand for our services to a significant degree, changed the nature and increased the complexity of the issues presented and placed additional pressure on our already stretched resources. This demand is expected to continue for the foreseeable future

Expertise:

Youthline has been supporting young people in need for over 50 years and we have considerable expertise in providing this support.
We have built up significant knowledge and experience over this period such that we are recognised as the premier support service for young people in need. Our 200 Helpline volunteer counsellors receive intensive training and close supervision.
Colmar Brunton research (2021) shows that over 76% of young people in New Zealand are aware of Youthline. Last year we managed over 127,000 contacts to our Helpline and worked with 16,432 individual young people.

Promotion:

The Youthline Helpline is promoted and marketing across a wide range of media including the Youthline website, Facebook page and various promotional activities. We have an extensive communications contact plan in place.
We will publicly acknowledge the local board’s contribution in the Youthline Annual Report, on our website, in social media and on our promotional material.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

For many of the 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 – disadvantaged, disillusioned, disengaged - and their situation is exacerbated under COVID-19.
Our Helpline is staffed by 200 volunteers who processed 127,000 contacts from young people in need last year. They are only able to do this vital work because they receive comprehensive training and support. Under COVID-19 and as an essential service these roles are even more important so that we can avoid the long term effects of the traumatising nature of the pandemic.  
Last year 2,626 young people from Hibiscus & Bays needed our help, with COVID-19 producing greater stress and distress for them.
We have to be able to provide the best possible support for young people in need and we do this best when we have a well trained and managed team of volunteers and support staff.  
The community benefits when we are able to support these young people through their period of distress and emerge with a positive plan for the future and can help build a resilient community. This is particularly so under COVID-19.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Hibiscus and Bays communities are supported, connected and vibrant

 

Youthline has been supporting rangatahi and their families for over 50 years. Our kaupapa/purpose is to strengthen wellbeing through youth voice and youth choice such that young people are empowered within their communities.
We are well known as “the number one place for young people to reach out to for support”.  76% of young people are aware of Youthline and 17% of young people have contacted us for help (Colmar Brunton 2021). 
We are a “with youth, for youth” organisation and the first point of contact for many young people accessing youth development and support services across Aotearoa New Zealand. We are a respected and trusted frontline service that has changed the lives of many people who have reached out in their time of need. 
The Youthline Helpline is at the heart of our mahi. Young people in need who contact us  through our Helpline often feel lonely, alone, disengaged and desperate. They often have a reduced sense of belonging to family, school or community.
We aim to ensure that the young people we work with have clear pathways from school to work. And we aim to engender a sense of belonging to their family, school and the community in which they live. In supporting these young people Youthline is very much committed to promoting healthy, safe, sustainable and active lifestyles.
COVID-19 has had a profound affect on the youth of Aotearoa. There has never been a more important time to create a sense of belonging, connection and community. 
The pandemic has increased the demand for our services to a significant degree and placed additional pressure on our already stretched resources. 
The stress and anxiety that young people have felt as a result of COVID-19 since March 2020 remains for many as an underlying condition requiring great care in working with our rangatahi going forward.
Further, just as the pandemic itself has been described as having a long tail, we know from research and experience that the pandemic will have a long mental health tail and the ongoing need for counselling services will also have long tail. 
The August 2021 lockdown was a salutary reminder that COVID is ever-present, highly contagious and can strike at any time particularly in its Delta and more recently in its Omicron form. And that our rangatahi are particularly vulnerable to the distress that the pandemic causes. Even though we are now in the Orange setting the need for vigilance remains. 
In essence, for our young people there has been no relief from the stresses and strains of COVID for 2 years. 
In research undertaken in 2021, 83% of young people said mental health issues, including suicide, are the biggest problem facing youth (Colmar Brunton 2021). This follows a 2020 Youthline online survey with 975 young people and their families where more than 72% of respondents shared that COVID-19 and lockdown have impacted their mental health with young people under 25 more likely to share this than older groups.
Youthline supports these young people, acknowledges their issues and is inclusive with a strengths-based, person-centred approach. We very much aim to build engagement and resiliency for young people and and support them in transitioning to adulthood.  
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. 
Our experienced youth worker teams provide individual support, mentoring, development and leadership opportunities to vulnerable youth throughout the Auckland region.
For many, connecting with Youthline provides a pathway to a range of personal development and life skills programmes offered by our team including personal development, job skills (e.g. barista training, CV writing and job applications) and learner licence training. All designed to better equip young people to be healthy and active and productive members of their communities.
Research shows 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.
In terms of our services going forward we know that:
1.  There will continue to be a high demand for support coloured by the impact of COVID-19.
2.  We will need to maintain volunteer numbers for our Helpline service at as higher a level as possible to cope with the demand and increased complexity 
3.  The need for comprehensive training and triage support for our volunteers will be paramount.
4.   Our youth worker teams will continue to have a large number of vulnerable young people to work with requiring significant levels of programme resources.
5.  Our volunteer and face-to-face counsellors will have a high need for supervision that in particular acknowledges the unique stresses and strains engendered by the pandemic.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     

Youthline provides support services to young people in need across the ethnic spectrum. Last year 16% of calls and texts to our Helpline presented as Māori, slightly ahead of the 14% of young people aged 15-24 residing in the Auckland area who identify as Māori. 19.7% of our mentoring and face-to-face counselling clients are Māori and 12% of our staff identify as Māori.  
 
All of our staff and volunteers are trained on the Treaty of Waitangi. Māori models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha inform our work with targets groups of rangatahi Māori. Youthline has a Māori 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

Yes - All our services and facilities are 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.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

As a “with youth, for youth, by youth” organisation Youthline is commited to supporting all rangatahi with a focus on ages 12-24 years. We have a strong commitment to diversity recognising that our minority communities, including Maori, Pasifika and Rainbow youth, disproportionately experience mental health issues and are less likely to seek help.
A strategic priority is to hold an equity focus on Maori, Pasifika, Rainbow, Asian, Migrant and Refugee youth and young people with disabilities.
We are advocates for youth focus, youth voice and youth choice and providing leadership to ensure young people are prioritised and invested in. Recognising and addressing inequities and upholding safety is very important to us.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$8000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting $8,000 as a contribution to the Hibiscus & Bays share of $11,801 of the annual costs of $201,412 to provide triage support for our volunteer counsellors who staff the Youthline Helpline and support the local rangatahi. 
Two years after the first lockdown, the stress and anxiety that young people felt as a result of COVID-19 remains for many as an underlying condition. This has been exacerbated by the  Omicron outbreak and recent restrictions. We expect 2022 will be as challenging as the last 2 years in terms of helping young people cope in a COVID world.

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

We would not amend our plan as such. Rather we would continue being extremely proactive in applying for funding from a wide range of funders. The total cost of the Youthline Helpline will be $1.5m this year. We receive funding of $90,000 from an Oranga Tamariki contract meaning we have to fundraise over $1.4m each and every year.   
 
Under COVID many of our funders continue to have a reduced capacity to provide funding. At a time when young people need our service more than ever we are hugely dependent on those organisations who can provide funding.

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 this time round to the cost of providing clinical support for our essential volunteer Helpline counsellors who, under COVID-19, are supporting a record number of young people experiencing mental distress and hardship of an unprecedented nature. As an essential service it is vital that we are able to keep the Helpline fully operational. The training, supporting, supervising and management of our volunteer counsellors is an absolute priority.

Project: Weed Control at Okura Esplanade, Deborah Reserve and Okura Walkway

Location:

Okura Esplanade Reserve, Deborah Reserve, Okura Walkway

Summary:

The aim is to restore the Okura Esplanade, Deborah Reserve, and the Okura Walkway to a naturally functioning self-sustaining indigenous ecosystem consistent of that within the Region.  We plan to eradicate or reduce and maintain  environmental weed species at low density throughout these sites so that resource requirements for weed control work are reduced over time. Clearing of weeds will allow for revegetation of appropriate coastal native plant species, either through natural regeneration or community planting, and restore the natural biodiversity and populations of appropriate native animal species.
Although volunteers assist with  manual weed control, appropriately qualified contractors are required to work with the agrichemicals needed and for specialised work such abseiling on the coastal cliffs of the Walkway.

Expertise:

FOOB has been operating for nine years now.  We have engaged contractors for specialised work and for educating volunteers..
We have successfully completed the first year of the five year plan for weed control of Okura Esplanade and Deborah Reserve, and completed the first five year plan for weed control on the Okura Walkway.

Dates:

01/12/2022 - 01/12/2023

People reached:

Contractor will engage up to six people for specialised weed control.  We have a team of about 8 regular weed control volunteers.  We have between 70 to 100 people attending our community planting day.

Environmental benefits:  Weeds species are eradicated or reduced thereby native plant species are better able to flourish.
Thriving native plant growth promotes enhanced habitat for native animal species. eg, native birds, lizards, insects etc
Safer habitat will lead to the return of indigenous species, as well as increase in numbers.
Restoration of plant systems will create suitable habitat for birdlife, one example being the Tiritiri Matangi Open Sanctuary, north of Auckland.
 
A healthy forest increases the degree of carbon sequestering, an important factor in reducing climate change.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The Okura to Stillwater area is unique in the Hibiscus-Bays area, indeed New Zealand, in having a range of areas of different eco-diversity in such close proximity to each other .  The easily accessible public area includes Okura Bush Reserve (the last significant stand of coastal native broad-leaved and kauri forest between Coromandel and Whangarei), Karepiro Forest, two wetland areas, Karepiro Bay (habitat for a number of at risk or endangered shore birds) five fingers of cheniers (internationally rare shellbank landfoms), part of Te Araroa Trail, and part of the North-West Wildlink, all adjacent to a marine reserve.  The area is also considered significant because of the range of native bush, wetland and shore birdlife and native lizards of which six species are classified as rare.  
 
The benefit to the community is that up to 70,000 people per annum (less during Kauri Dieback rahui ) use the Walkway, a jewel in the HBLB crown, and can experience this range of diversity of plants, birdlife and other creatures.  
 
Enhancing the health of the native forest increases carbon sequestering thus reducing climate change.  Regeneration of native plants provides enhanced habitat for the existing native fauna, and attracts further diversity.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Support the development and implementation of ecological and environmental restoration plans

 

Friends of Okura Bush (FOOB) has Council-approved and supported environmental/ecological five year restoration plans for the Okura Esplanade and Deborah Reserves and the Council-owned section of the Okura Walkway.  FOOB is currently into the 2nd year of the 5 year plan for the two reserves, and is currently undertaking the first year of the second five year restoration plan for the Council-owned section of the Okura Walkway.  Copies of both plans are attached.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We have had instances of people with mental health disabilities finding that volunteering at weeding or planting activities has been very helpful, satisfying and rewarding.
People with moderate to severe mobility disabilities would find the terrain and work too difficult.

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, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We encourage a smoke-free environment and promote waste minimisation as far as possible.  We try to avoid plastics as far as possible but any we have we dispose of responsibly with recycling where appropriate.
At our community planting day, we provide healthy vegetarian refreshments, including gluten-free options, which we prepare ourselves, eg, soup, healthy snacks, fruit. Our projects require a certain level of fitness to go out into the field for either weed control or planting.  Work on the Okura Walkway requires walking some distance.
Reducing numbers and density of weed species to allow enhancement of the health of our native plant species and regeneration  of further native plant species leads to reduction in carbon emissions, and increased resilience to impacts of climate change.  Our weed control programme is operated in conjunction with our pest animal control programme to increase native plant health, and improved habitat and safety for our native birds, lizards and insects.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

No
 
However, in regard to Maori outcomes, our organisation maintains a close liaison with Te Kawerau a Maki and Ngati Manuhiri.  All of our fieldworkers and most of our committee has attended a Te Ao Maori Cultural Induction seminar with Ngati Manuhiri.   Each of these iwi have actively supported our work, and each is aware that positions both on our committee and for fieldwork are open  and welcomed - to any that they would recommend.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$10000.00

Requesting grant for:

Lotteries Environment and Heritage has contributed two thirds of the funding for our weed control programme for three years of the five year plans.  We are seeking the one third shortfall for the third year of the Okura Esplanade and Deborah Reserves plan, and the shortfall for the second year of the second five year plan for Okura Walkway.

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

We would be able to only partially complete the weed control plans for the third year of the five year plan for Okura Esplanade and Okura Reserves, and partially complete the second year of the five year weed control of the Okura Walkway.  This would then put us behind for achieving the plans for future years.

Project: 2023 printed Street Smart Handbook supports 600 Year 13 students

Location:

Orewa College - 76 Riverside Road, Orewa, Auckland, KingsWay School - 100 Jelas Road, Red Beach, Auckland, Whangaparaoa College - 8 Stanmore Bay Road, Stanmore Bay, Auckland

Summary:

In support of 600 year 13 secondary school students in schools across the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area Blue Light wishes to produce and distribute its 2023 Street Smart Handbook.  This hard copy printed resource is accessible for all students and covers a wide range of accurate information on key issues affecting young people. Designed to enable informed pro-social choices at key transitionary time – that of leaving school – Street Smart is delivered through Blue Light’s branch network creating opportunities for positive connections between local Police and students.

Expertise:

Blue Light has been delivering youth programmes and activities at both a local level and at a national level in the New Zealand community for over 38 years. Blue Light has been successfully producing the Street Smart for over 16 years, adapting it to the needs of youth in our communities. We are constantly updating Street Smart to ensure all contact information is current, and the material within the handbook remains relevant given the issues facing young people in our communities in 2023.

Dates:

- Promotions to the schools that are sent in advance, and with, the Street Smart Handbook.
- Blue Light's social media which promotes Street Smart and the community funders prior and at the time of distribution.
- A link to the Street Smart Handbook attached to Blue Light's website.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

600 Year 13 students who receive the Street Smart Handbook in the Hibiscus and Bays local board area will have: 
•           Access to key accurate life skills information not contained in the NZ Curriculum, not mis-information obtained through social media and peers.
•           A printed resource, which they, and other members of their family can readily access, as opposed to information only accessible on the internet which is not available to all. •         Contacts and referral details for key Government agencies and community services to support them both now in this time and into the uncertain future in both phone, text, and email.
•           Tertiary training and career planning information at a time where schooling is continued to be disrupted with staff shortages and absences due to COVID and sickness.
•           An opportunity to make positive connections with their local Police.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Hibiscus and Bays communities are supported, connected and vibrant

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     

•Maori are a key target audience for the Street Smart Handbook due to:
o          Impacts of COVID and cost of living crisis disproportionately affecting Maori.
o          Rangatahi Maori lack of access to devices, data or internet.
o          Rangatahi Māori, are more likely to not be in employment or training post- secondary education.
o          Rangatahi Maori  face pressure to leave school, take up employment or provide care for whanau.
 
Blue Light's Street Smart provides:
- a printed resource, removing the technology barriers
- trusted information on a range of issues affecting both Rangatahi Maori and whanau.
- a support to the engagement of Rangatahi Maori in schooling
- information/contact details about groups working with Maori in their community to support them.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Blue Light through providing the Street Smart Handbook online, as well as in a printed format, enables youth experiencing disability choice and flexibility in how they prefer to access the information provided. Blue Light's online version will be formatted so that text to speech applications can be utilised by and for youth who prefer to have the material spoken to them.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Street Smart's provides information to young people on how to make informed choices to enhance their positive well-being and self-development and contains sections on Healthy bodies, including information on the dangers of smoking and vaping and how to quit. This section also contains information on healthy eating and eating disorders. It has links and contacts to agencies who can help support youth, their families and community members if they experience mental illness and if they need support or questions around healthy and sustainable lifestyle choices.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Blue Light is a youth organisation working with youth aged 5-24 years of age.
We empower youth to reach their full potential through our national programmes and locally through our 71 local branches working with NZ Police volunteers to create meaningful experiences for young people in their regions.
 
Blue Light's Youth Workers represent the diverse youth and communities in which Blue Light works, and work actively to remove barriers to youth participation so youth can contribute positively in their communities
 
 Blue Light's work in the community is unique - it is not a one size fits all approach. While no specific gender diverse groups have been targeted, nor are they excluded. Over 100,000 young people participate in Blue Light's programmes and activities annually making diversity and inclusion practices a priority. Our work-place policy and procedures reflect our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust - EMR

 

 

Legal status:

Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

 

Project: Summer Series

Location:

Deborah Reserve, Okura + Waiake Beach Reserve, Torbay + Shakespear Regional Park + Awaruku Reserve, Long Bay

Summary:

Our project has 4 parts outlined below
 
All 4 events are aimed at bringing together local businesses and environmental groups to showcase local parks and reserves to the community. 
 
Torbay and Shakespear Snorkel Days will include guided snorkelling, guided nature walk led by local community groups, raranga (weaving) workshop led by local kairaranga and freshwater information stall led by Whitebait Connection. 
 
Okura Paddle Day will include guided kayaking, standup paddle boarding and nature walk as well as raranga (weaving) workshop 
 
Awaruku Spotlighting will included guided nature walk and biodiversity spotlighting 
 
These events have been very popular in the past with with 2,295 participants engaged since 2015 over 17 events.

Expertise:

Experiencing Marine Reserves and Whitebait Connection are programmes of the Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust. Since 2002 both programmes have reached over 320,000 kiwis around New Zealand. We have run community events since 2006 which have engaged over 26,000 people. We have over 25 events planned for the Auckland region for the 2022/23 season - these events are very popular and often reach capacity with waitlists.

Dates:

03/12/2022 - 16/04/2023

People reached:

500

% of participants from Local Board

80%

Promotion:

These will be advertised through paid targeted Facebook promotions, sharing in local groups, through Our Auckland magazine, Event Finda, EventBrite.
 
To ensure maximum participation of Hibiscus and Bays Local board residents we will have an early access code for 1 week which will
only be shared to local areas.
 
The local board is acknowledged through promotional material, in briefings, in correspondence with participants and in press releases.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

1) Getting the community active and engaged with their marine & freshwater environments
2) Providing an opportunity for local community groups to engage with a captive audience of locals
3) Providing age inclusive events
4) Removing barriers to participation for participants to be engaged in the space through free events

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Provide a range of play and active recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities in our parks, reserves, and coastal environment

 

Our project has 4 parts: Okura Paddle, Shakespear & Torbay Snorkel Days and Awaruku Spotlighting. These free community snorkel, kayak, SUP and guided walk events encourage the community get outside their comfort zones and be active within their environment in a safe, fun and educational way.
 
These projects showcase local parks, streams and beaches of the Hibiscus and Bays rohe, engaging a diverse range of the community. As we are able to take ages, 5 to 105 snorkelling we are able to create very inclusive events.
 
Our events cater to those who have limited to no experience in the ocean, providing a safe and encouraging environment in which to learn a new skill and gain confidence interacting with marine environments. Our events also enable participants to discover local parks and reserves that they had not known about before, whilst highlighting the special aspects of these environments. Active play is encouraged during our events through land based activities including raranga (weaving) and an interactive freshwater stall where participants could play games centred around learning about freshwater biodiversity and threats.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     

Our programmes have always had a focus on kaitikitanga (guardianship) of our marine and freshwater taonga (treasures). We believe that the best way to foster this guardianship is through exposure and experiential learning.
 
Karakia are always spoken prior to our activities and mana whenua are given priority when finding kairaranga to share local stories.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Snorkelling is a low impact activity and we strive to create an inclusive environment. For the kayaking - they are double kayaks and we have taken participants in the past that have visual impairments/ movement difficulties. Seated in the front kayak they have the steering taken care of by the person in the back. The spotlighting requires a reasonable level of mobility as the track is uneven but we are able to cater to most abilities. The only activity which has limited accessibility is the paddleboarding as it requires a high level of fitness.

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, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

All our events are strictly smoke free - this will be advertised in our promotional material and enforced on the day. We encourage all our participants and students to minimise the plastic waste that they bring as well as picking up waste during the day and our volunteer
lunches are designed to use as little plastic as possible. We don't cater for participants/ students or provide food - but our volunteer lunches are healthy sandwiches. Our events create an opportunity for participants to be active within their environment while learning a
new skill. We talk about coastal erosion and the importance of riparian planting in our events.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

We have focus of these events on tamariki/ rangatahi and their whānau. But our events are open to the general public and we welcome all ethnicities and genders. There is a minimum age of 5 years for the snorkelling and 8 years for the paddling and Spotlighting events, but there is no maximum age.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$9829.00

Requesting grant for:

We currently have sponsorship through Tu Manawa Aotearoa which is able to cover the cost of our EMR/WBC crew time and mileage on the ground for our snorkel and kayak days. This grant will not include the spotlighting event or other subcontractor costs. We have secured $1500 from the Bobby Stafford-Bush Foundation for the costs of the Canoe and Kayak Quote (~$1500 - hasn't been sent through yet). We are applying for the remaining subcontractor costs - SUP hire, kairaranga and the Mountains to Sea invoice components that are not covered by the grant above.

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

Some events could run but only as bare bones events with reduced capacity - we would have to remove all collaboration with local groups and fundraise to cover the management costs.
 
 
If we received $8000+ we would remove the rararanga component from the events and run all that were planned or we would remove the spotlighting event
If we received $5000+ we would remove the rararanga component from the events, reduce capacity for Okura and not run the spotlighting event
If we received $3000+ we would reduce the capacity and number of events and run as bare bones without collaboration.

Cost of participation:

Donations of cash or time volunteering in the future are appreciated but not required.

Additional information to support the application:

We are excited to have the support from Tu Manawa Aotearoa to cover the bulk of our crew time. This means that we are able apply for funding to create really integrated events which provide platforms for local conservation groups to reach their wider community. At the time of submitting this application Canoe and Kayak hadn't been able to provide us with a quote for Kayaking at Okura - we are expecting it to be around ~$1500 and have some budget set aside for it from the Bobby Stafford-Bush Foundation.
