Examples of projects include local food production and food waste reduction; increasing access to single-occupancy transport options; home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation; local tree planting and streamside revegetation; and educating about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

22 June 2023

2022/2023 Howick Quick Response, Round Two QR2307-248
Action Education Incorporated

Legal status:	Incorporated Society		Activity focus:	Arts and culture
Project: Spoken Word Activation Workshops Empowering Young People using the Arts
Location:	Ormiston College
Summary:	We are requesting funding towards x 12 Spoken Word Workshops for young people within high schools in the local board area (schools listed in ‘Project Location). Using feedback from young people, we have honed and refined our spoken word workshops to: 1. Introduce participants to spoken word poetry, supporting their writing and literacy skills 2. Introduce young people to a creative, affordable, relevant and accessible medium for self-expression 3. Build confidence and self-esteem while connecting with their collective and individual identities. We provide these workshops, free of charge and we distribute alongside them our “Spoken Word Guidelines” resource for educators. http://www.actioneducation.co.nz/resources.html.
Expertise:	Action Education is recognised as a leading Youth Development organisation who successfully use creative methods to engage and support diverse groups of young people to explore and strengthen their individual and collective identities. With over 30 years’ experience, we have honed our programmes to inspire, grow, and connect our current and future leaders. On average our programmes receive an overall positive evaluation rating of 92%. In a recent external survey of Action Education programmes (2022) 91% of survey respondents reported that their involvement in the programme had a positive impact on their overall well-being, increasing their confidence around public speaking, and their confidence around writing to express themselves.
Dates:	03/07/2023 - 24/11/2023
People reached:	150-300
% of participants from Local Board		100%
Promotion:	We will promote the workshops through our relationships with schools and coordinate full attendance – around 20 participants per workshop. We will publicly acknowledge the local board through our Facebook Page, at the Workshop, in our Annual Report and Annual Accounts.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
	The Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa says ‘Youth Development is triggered when young people fully participate and that young people need to be given opportunities to have greater control over what happens to them, through seeking their advice, participation and engagement’. Spoken Word Poetry is an art form that’s increasingly recognised as an effective vehicle for young people to understand, who they are in the context of where they are, what healthy relationships look like and how they can be enhanced through using tools such as active listening, communication, authentic expression, empathy and understanding. Arts continue to emerge as a medium for young people to engage and connect with their peers, feelings and emotions. In recent survey by CNZ it was found that kiwis believe arts have wide-ranging benefits. The majority feel participating in art activities makes them more confident (67%), helps them to feel good about life in general (62%), and helps them to make friends (58%). The workshops often act as a catalyst for young people to start their journey within a thriving youth poetry environment where diversity is embraced, critical thinking is encouraged and young people are actively involved in their own development.
Alignment with local board priorities:
	· Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute By holding the workshops we are enabled to support and connect Rangatahi through spoken word poetry workshops that encourage an inclusive environment where diversity is fostered and can bloom, where young people can create and connect and are encouraged to speak their truth while being cheered on by their peers. There is nothing more powerful than knowing you are not alone and that you are celebrated for who you are. These are the environments these workshops curate for our young people.

Demographics
Māori outcomes:	· All of our staff and volunteers are trained in the Treaty of Waitangi and Maori models of Health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha, Tuakana/Teina and the Takarangi Cultural Competency Framework. We have high representation of Maori, Pasifika and People of Colour within our core staff, volunteers, community supporters and communities that we serve, who guide our mahi. We use Karakia, Waiata, Whakatauki, Poroporoaki and Powhiri within our programmes where appropriate. We hold core values such as Aroha, manaakitanga and kotahitanga throughout all of our programmes. Fundamentally we acknowledge that peoples, such as Maori are taonga who need safe, supportive and positive spaces where they are celebrated, uplifted and; can build, reflect on, and grow their own aspirations.
Accessible to people with disabilities	Yes - Our work is mainly held at secondary schools and community centres which are all well equipped to provide access for those with physical disabilities. Upon entry into our programmes, we take into account the unique needs of each individual so that we can ensure they are comfortable and can fully participate.
Healthy environment approach:	Promote smoke-free messages We have a smoke free policy's in place at our workspace, and our work mostly takes place in smoke free environments such as community centres and schools. All of our youth development workers are trained to be able to offer support in smoking cessation.

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

Our workshops attract and support an incredibly diverse range of participants in terms of gender, ethnicity, culture, faith, world view, sexuality and, socio-economic backgrounds. We know from experience that it is through shared stories our programmes can break down stereotypes and give young people a craft to express their voice. We support an inclusive environment where diversity is fostered and can bloom.

Combined Probus Club of Botany Downs

Legal status:	Informal group/ no legal structure		Activity focus:	Community
Project: Combined Probus Club of Botany Downs -
Location:	Our monthly main Social Meetings are held at Eastview Baptist Church, Botany. The other activities are held at various locations in the wider Howick area as indicated in this application.
Summary:	By organising over 120 individual physical, mental, social activities and/or interactions per year, we strongly believe we greatly enhance the personnel wellbeing of members. We provide the opportunity and/or make it easier for members to become more active & involved in activities they would probably not otherwise participate. The arrangement of these numerous activities and their suitable venues requires that organisers also become involved in community matters and that participants spend more time in their local community.
Expertise:	Given our members are retirees from a wide range of backgrounds we can draw on a considerable depth of expertise and significant business experience.
Dates:	01/07/2023 - 30/06/2024
People reached:	125
% of participants from Local Board		98%
Promotion:	We advise members of Grants received by way of advice and acknowledgement at the main social meetings and also include details in the monthly Newsletter sent to all members. The details are also clearly disclosed in the Club's Annual financial Accounts.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
	Our Club, on a voluntary basis, in organising the activities, as detailed, provides significant opportunities for members to become participate in many beneficial events which suit their differing needs & interests. It also provides opportunity for members to give back to their community. The many venues used for the activities benefit financially from the increased utilisation of their premises and the revenue which results. We strongly believe this increased involvement of our members has a significant beneficial effect on the mental & physical wellbeing of all members involved.
Alignment with local board priorities:
	· People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing We encourage and provide a safe & enjoyable environment for our retiree members to get out and participate more frequently in their local community. In post Covid restriction times this is particularly important for our target market. Other than the day trips arranged, all other activities are conducted within the local area. In organising and attending the activities. it is necessary for the members to become more involved with local organisations & businesses. For example we use the facilities at the Howick and Pakuranga Community Houses, Howick Croquet Club, Eastview Baptist Church, Howick Little Theatre, St. Marks Parish Centre, The Howick Club, various local Cafes & Restaurants, and the local walking tracks and recreation areas for our activities. The expenses incurred by our club and its members in conducting these activities support local organisations financially.

Collaborating organisation/individual	Role
Eastview Baptist Church, Botany	We hire their facilities for 10 x monthly social meetings per year
Highland Park & Pakuranga Community Houses	We hire a room for 11 x monthly Canasta group meetings per year.
Howick Croquet Club	We hire their clubrooms for 11 x monthly Rummikub group meetings per year.
St. Marks Parish Centre	We utilise a room for our Book Club which meets monthly.
Howick Little Theatre	This interest group has been regular attending performances at the Howick Little Theater for many years.
Howick Club	We have for many years held our Christmas dinner function at the Howick Club.
Local walking tracks	Our weekly Walking group utilises many of the local walking tracks.
Various local restaurants & cafes	Our monthly Luncheon group, Men's coffee group and weekly Walking group meet & support a number of local food outlets.

Demographics
Māori outcomes:	· Not specified
Accessible to people with disabilities	Yes - Given the age of our members it is important that we always ensure all venues used are suitable and accessible by all members. We also, through our monthly "telephone tree" calls to all members, determine whether transport assistance is required to attend activities and arrange assistance where necessary.
Healthy environment approach:	Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes All our activities, as detailed, are based around stimulation and exercise of the mind and body in a safe and friendly environment. All venues & involvement, including our walking group, are smoke free.

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

No. All retirees or semi retirees are welcome to become members regardless of gender or ethnicity.

Financial information
Amount requested:	$1000.00
Requesting grant for:	We are specifically requesting funding to subsidise the cost of hiring venues for Canasta (at Highland Park & Pakuranga Community Houses), Rummikub (at Howick Croquet Club) and our main social meetings (at Easrview Baptist Church).
If part funded, how would you make up the difference: We would be required to increase the entry fees for Canasta and Rummikub to cover the cost of hiring rooms for these activities. This is likely to have an effect on the level of participation in these activities. Alternatively we would need to consider adjusting upwards the annual subscription fees of door charge at the main social meetings. Given most of our members are on fixed incomes we have found that increases in costs can be detrimental to the level of participation in activities.
Cost of participation:	The Annual membership fee is $25. We also charge an entry fee of $3 pp at each monthly main social meeting attended mainly to cover the cost of providing morning tea/coffee & biscuits. If we are not successful with this application we will have to re-introduce a fee of $4 pp at each attendance at Canasta and Rummikub to cover the cost of hiring the venues we have arranged for these activities.

Additional information to support the application:

Covid has greatly restricted and effected the number of activities we have been able to conduct over the past couple of years, and our members' age group has probably been more disrupted than most. Unfortunately, our membership has decreased during this period and it is important that we endeavour to now reverse this trend back towards previous levels of membership. Given our members are mostly on fixed incomes keeping costs down is an important consideration in conducting the activities we provide for the benefit of members and the community. This grant would significantly assist us achieve those objectives

Project: Music Corner
Location:	47 Aviemore Drive, Highland Park, 2010.
Summary:	Setting up a music corner in HPCC for the Tamariki to be exposed to and enjoy various percussion instruments. We would purchase music instruments, a storage trolley and a speaker for this space. This corner will be accessible, interactive and have suitable equipment for all ages attending HPCC.

Promotion:	We can publicly acknowledge the local board through our Facebook page.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
	Music and movement inspires creativity, musicality, rhythm and co-ordination, and encourages tamariki to artistically express themselves. Playing percussion in particular opens their worlds to different sounds and instruments which they can explore to create the different sounds. Tamariki learn to share the instruments and talents are found, they start on their journey of sharing, celebrating and growing music in the community.
Alignment with local board priorities:
	· Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences HPCC is in need of musical instruments for the tamariki to engage with. Tamariki can become more aware of their rhythmic environments when they have the opportunity to play percussion instruments. Playing percussion opens their worlds to different sounds and instruments which they can explore to create different sounds. Musical exposure for the tamariki of HPCC is vital to supporting music in our local board area. Music and movement inspires creativity, musicality, rhythm and co-ordination, and encourages children to artistically express themselves, both in the moment and in the future as they explore their passions and interests.

Demographics
Māori outcomes:	· HPCC follows the Te Whariki curriculum. The teachers incorporate tikanga practices and te reo in every session, especially during music times.
Accessible to people with disabilities	Yes - HPCC is accessible for tamariki with disabilities.

Howick & Districts Historical Society Inc.

Legal status:	Incorporated Society		Activity focus:	Arts and culture
Project: Fit for purpose: tools of the trade(s)
Location:	Howick Historical Village, 75 Bells Road, Pakuranga Heights, Auckland 2010
Summary:	This grant request is not for a specific project, per se, but helps us purchase equipment needed to manage Howick Historical Village. The first set of equipment covers digital recording and transcription equipment, to be used by our Education Manager & Storytelling Coordinator, Roimata Prendergast. The second item, a DeWalt wet/dry vacuum, will help us quickly remove the water that leaks into our staff break room when it rains (which is often, and will continue until we can replace the roof).The final appliance, a clothes dryer, will replace the old, energy-inefficient one donated to the Village in the 80s. While normally we line dry all our costumes, underclothes, and textiles, sometimes tight time frames and sanitation concerns require quicker drying.
Expertise:	Roimata has several years experience interviewing, storytelling, and mentoring. She has already developed a good relationship with Song and Kit, and has created valued and valuable connections between HHV and the Owairoa Marae. She has also attended several Auckland Library-led workshops on oral history, and is currently completing a six-week workshop on creating a podcast. Regarding the vacuum and dryer, our staff are well versed in using the appliances.
Dates:	03/07/2023 - 28/06/2024
People reached:	over 19,600 people have already visited HHV in 22/23 (see Sharepoint reporting for HHV),
% of participants from Local Board		%

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
	The main community benefit of this request will be the East Auckland residents with whom Roimata will kōrero for her storytelling projects. Currently, she is working with Kit Wong and Song Lam on a project titled "Tales of the Godwits" but has to borrow the equipment from Auckland Library's main branch, which means she is not always able to access it when Kit and Song are available, or vice versa. Purchasing this equipment for ourselves would help move the project along, and allow Roimata to record and transcribe more stories. In terms of the other appliances, the wet/dry vacuum will mainly support the safety of our staff, volunteers, archives, and library when it rains, while the dryer will facilitate managing our costume room and keeping good hygiene practices. Additionally, the dryer is a heat pump design, so the water collected will be used in irrigation.
Alignment with local board priorities:
	· Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences This grant application requests funds to purchase much-needed equipment for Howick Historical Village. The Village hopes to secure funding to purchase recording and transcription equipment for our Education Manager & Storytelling Coordinator, Roimata Prendergast, to support her storytelling work. The wet/dry vacuum will help keep our staff break room dry and, more importantly, our archives and library, which are proximate to the break room. This appliance is especially important for us to have until we can replace our perished archgola roof that was installed in the mid-90s. The heat pump dryer will help us manage our costume collection, practice hygiene best practices, and we will reuse the collected water for irrigation in our gardens. From expanding our Storytelling programme, to helping us clean up after heavy rains, to enabling us to better care for our costume collection, the equipment requested here will enable Howick Historical Village staff to be safe and successful in their respective roles.

Demographics
Māori outcomes:	· Roimata Prendergast, Ngāti Kahu \| Mauke – Cook Islands \| Ra’iātea - Tahiti, is in the process of recording and producing interviews for a sound installation called Pacific Frequencies: Mahu, to be held at HHV during Matariki and then will travel to Auckland Libraries. This project is supported through Arts out East and Te Tuhi, and features Māori and Pasifika voices. She is also filming and recording a short form documentary on Whaea Taini of Owairoa Marae for HHV's Auckland Heritage Festival 2023 programming.
Accessible to people with disabilities	Yes - Available in written and audio formats.
Healthy environment approach:	Promote smoke-free messages, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change* The recording equipment purchase will cut down on the number of times Roimata drives to and from Auckland Library to rent their equipment (which so far has been 5 times). The wet/dry vacuum will help keep mould from growing in the staff break room and prevent slips and falls, and the dryer is an energy efficient heat pump model, from which we will use the captured water in irrigation.

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

Through Roimata's storytelling work, she is tasked with the following three main measurable outcomes:

•           Develop relationships with local storytellers, narrators, poets, authors, and other practitioners, as well as people new to the tradition, so that space is created for stories to be shared by the holders of that knowledge.
•           Support the kaitiakitanga of te ao Māori and related knowledge.
•           Where best practice would be to support community groups and others, the successful candidate will act as an intermediary between the art of storytelling and its application in society. In practice this involves creating frameworks and identifying opportunities for others to tell stories.

Her job is to share stories, but also to connect with and platform those voices who are best suited to tell their own stories.
The vacuum and dyer are not necessarily supporting this work, but will make the work space safe for our staff and volunteers.

Financial information
Amount requested:	$2443.57
Requesting grant for:	The total amount of equipment we would like to purchase is $2,874.79 incl. GST. We are asking for 85% of this amount, as we will cover the GST total of $431.22.
If part funded, how would you make up the difference: Any funds approved would first cover the cost of the recording equipment so Roimata can better do her Storytelling job, then the wet/dry vacuum, then the dryer. If necessary, cheaper options of the vacuum and dryer will be considered, but the ones selected have the highest reviews for their price ranges, as well as reliable product support and repair from their respective manufacturers.

Additional information to support the application:

Attached is an excerpt from Roimata's submission to MCH's 2022 Ngā Kōrero Tuku Iho, Piki Ake! Kake Ake!, New Zealand Oral History Grants. She applied to support her project "Tales of the Godwits." This text is included here to help explain the project.

Attached are photos of our break room from Tuesday, 9 May 2023 and the heavy rain. A wet/dry vacuum would have helped ameliorate the situation much faster. To assuage any concerns: we have received one roof replacement quote, and are securing others, as well as funding to cover the project + consent costs.

Howick Bowling Club Incorporated

Legal status:	Incorporated Society		Activity focus:	N/A
Project: Bar Tills Project
Location:	33 Selwyn Road Howick Clubrooms-Upper and lower lounges
Summary:	We need to upgrade our two current bar tills. They are situated in the bar in each of the downstairs and upstairs lounges. Our current tills are over 16 years old and are no longer fit for purpose.
Expertise:	We have delivered a number of projects in recent years including renovation of the greenkeeper's shed, an iced water station, modernized our downstairs kitchenette, added a bowls shop, air conditioning units, and installed new toilet cisterns.
Dates:	10/07/2023 - 31/07/2023
People reached:	5,500 over 12 months
% of participants from Local Board		90%
Promotion:	We would acknowledge the Board's support in our website news section, and in our annual general accounts and report.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
	The main benefit will be that the members and users of the facilities will have their refreshment orders attended to more efficiently,and reduce the waiting time for service. The new machines will enable us to do away with the current plastic token manual system. Another benefit will enable bar staff to access multiple pricing regimes which is currently not an option. Also the icons currently in use have small screens and are difficult to read. This causes delays in addressing customers' needs.
Alignment with local board priorities:
	· Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities Our club provides bowls opportunities for members of all ages and ethnicities. Our bowls calendar caters for competitive and social players alike. We have a regular coaching programme twice a week throughout the year, as we have 3 grass greens for the summer and 2 synthetic greens for the 12 months. Our clubroom amenities are amongst the best in Auckland. This application will enable us to function more efficiently in both the upstairs and downstairs lounges, and falls within the Board's planning priorities.

Demographics
Māori outcomes:	· Not specified
Accessible to people with disabilities	Yes - The club already caters for users who have disabilities. We have existing entrance and egress ramps, and special car parks available.
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 We have smokefree signs inside and outside the clubrooms and a small designated area outside near the clubrooms for smokers. We have permanent rubbish and recycling bins outside the building. We have outside and inside water stations available.

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

This project supports and welcomes bowlers and users of all genders and ethnicities, and of all ages, and does not discriminate in any aspect.

Financial information
Amount requested:	$3000.00
Requesting grant for:	We are seeking 66% funding towards the total cost of $4,500 for purchasing two new Point of Sale Machines in our two club room bars. We will fund the balance from our available cash reserves.
If part funded, how would you make up the difference: We would have to possibly increase members' subscriptions or undertake a special tournament, but this would be difficult at this time in view of the current economic and inflationary climate.

Project: Bus Hire to the Greater Auckland
Location:	Bus Hire from Howick Bowling Club
Summary:	Assisted Bus Hire for Elderly members of the Howick Community

% of participants from Local Board		100%
Promotion:	Auckland Logo and Howick Board's participation noted in the monthly Club Newsletter.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
	Assisted Bus Hire for Elderly members of the Howick Community especially for older non-driving members.
Alignment with local board priorities:
	· People actively contribute to their community We do believe that it is important for the elderly members of our community to be ‘included’ in such outings, particularly as it is in the companionship of their friends from the Probus Club. It has been reported that loneliness is a very real problem for elderly people, particularly in the current climate, and this is why such clubs as ours are important, and I believe that we do well in improving the quality of life for our senior citizens. We are seeing a growing number of our members are feeling the increasing financial pressures of their retirement years, and these are increasing year on year, Many of our members cannot afford to go on the trips unless they are subsidised in some way. The club does contribute to the bus hire for the trips in the greater Auckland area but this is fairly limited. The grant would assist us in making more trips during 2023/4

Demographics
Māori outcomes:	· Not specified
Accessible to people with disabilities	Yes - Assistance is given in boarding and dismounting from the bus.
Healthy environment approach:	Promote smoke-free messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes Not aware of any of our 140 members who smoke. Trip venues are chosen which encourage suitable walks for the members
