How does your service support whānau?
The Building Safer Communities team is a dedicated and passionate group, wholeheartedly committed to their community’s well-being. Collectively they provide much needed support to the community in areas identified by the Far North people – in a collaborative way with other agencies.
What surprises people when they do start working with you?
The initiatives we offer: AUTOMOTIVATE - We have developed a comprehensive programme that aims to eliminate obstacles hindering individuals from acquiring their Driver’s License within a whānau ora framework. This initiative aims to contribute to safer roads, foster responsible drivers, and ultimately ensure the safety of whānau. YOUTH INNOVATIONS - Our primary focus revolves around cultivating youth leadership skills that facilitate pathways toward higher education and work placement. We are dedicated to nurturing the abilities of young individuals, empowering them to create and implement innovative youth-led programmes, projects, and activities within the community including: YOUTH SPACE - A vibrant and inclusive environment where young minds can thrive. Kaitaia’s Youth Space is a hub of excitement, creativity, and support for youth aged 12 to 24 in the Far North. Best of all, every workshop, activity, and programme we offer is absolutely FREE! OSCAR Holiday Programme. INDIGO HOUSE - Therapy and support for the victims of sexual violence. TOTAL SECURITY - A community-driven initiative aimed at minimising crime and victimisation in Kaitaia through the implementation of crime prevention strategies. These strategies are collaboratively developed and implemented by the community in partnership with the NZ Police, local businesses, and business associations.
