Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
         Resourcing male identified tāngata to secure employment
         Enabling male identified tāngata to contribute to their communities
         Improving incomes to individual, whānau and families
         Supporting rangatahi to achieve their potential
         Extending the network of referring agencies
         Increasing knowledge and access to FULS
         Forming connections within the community and local business
Alignment with local board priorities:
         Papakura
•   Support communities and individuals within Papakura to achieve their goals and aspirations
       FULS supports the Papakura community by building up their tāne, so that they can achieve
       employment and reach their goals to enable their whānau to thrive. The free stying appointment by
       a professional stylist is an experience that builds confidence and value within the tāne, which they
       will take back to their whānau and greater community.The free high quality and designer clothes
       really lift the tānes spirits and alleviate the financial stress that comes with buying something dressy
       and appropriate to wear for an important meeting or interview. Once the tāne see themselves in the
       mirror after the styling transformation, they are often blown away by their potential you witness them
       almost automatically becoming more sure of themselves and their ability to succeed.

Demographics
Māori outcomes:                    •     Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high
                                         representation or Māori staff delivering
                               FULS styles at least 1 Maori client a week with free interview appropriate
                               attire. FULS is therefore encouraging Maori to take positive steps towards
                               participating in the workforce. The Taha Tinana (physical health/grooming &
                               presentation) of Maori is also a dimension of wellbeing that is met through
                               the FULS service.
                               We have a Maori Chairman and Board Member who represent FULS and
                               participate in all of the decision making.
Accessible to people with      Yes - We will be on the ground floor and will make sure the changing room
disabilities                   spaces accommodate for people with physical disabilities.
                               A lot of our clients in the past and present have disabilities that they are
                               working towards managing. We come from a non judgemental stance and
                               adapt our communication during the styling sessions to allow people with
                               different abilities to listen to instructions and express their needs at their own
                               pace and capacity.
Target ethnic groups:          All/everyone
Healthy environment                •     Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero
approach:                                waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water
                                         as the first choice
                               I encourage clients not to smoke at least an hour before their job interviews
                               and to refrain from smoking in their job interview attire all together, because
                               the smell of smoke on them can prejudice against them in a job interview.
                               I promote value in the clothes and explain how to care for them, so that the
                               garments are more sustainable and re-used over and over.
                               We also only offer water as a drink if the clients are needing hydration.

Summary:                    To operate our after school, school holiday programme for children and youth
                            aged from 5 to 21 years and our community day participation programme for
                            young adults aged 21 years and over with disabilities/special needs. We provide a
                            community service
                            that promotes a sense of belonging to a child/young adult with a disability and
                            provide quality focused and fun respite services within the community to those that
                            are our most vulnerable.
                            vulnerable.
Expertise:                  We have been in operation since 2003, so for 15 years we have run very
                            successful programmes. In this time we have expanded all our programmes,
                            programmes are run at capacity with wait list for some, we always try our best to
                            ensure that all wanting to attend
                            can. We have invaluable training sessions with all our staff to ensure the safety
                            and best interests of that attend are catered for.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
         The community will benefit by having a well established programme for children & adults that is set
         in a positive environment. It is encouraging, rewarding and promotes a sense of belonging. The
         need for our service is crucial to families so that they can have the respite needed when trying to
         need the demands of special needs/disabled children. Unlike other programmes we have a very
         high ratio of support workers to children, in receiving this funding we are also able to continue
         offering rewarding employment opportunities to the youth of Auckland, and to provide them with the
         training to continue along the path of working with children/adults that have disabilities. There are so
very few places in Auckland that provide this service and we have families travelling in excess of 2
       hours each way to get their child to attend our programmes. We have also noticed a major gap in
       the services for transitional programmes for young adults on leaving school that are unable to work
       or hold down a job for various reasons. We have fabulous facilities available to us to run a
       programme and the knowledge of what is required for it to be successful and rewarding .
Alignment with local board priorities:

       Papakura

Financial information
Amount requested:             $25000.00
Requesting grant for:          We are requesting funding towards play/sensory equipment for the children
                               and adults in our programme, these will engage them and assist with
                               learning, also to go towards part of the wages for our amazing support
                               workers
If part funded, how would you make up the difference:
We would possibly be unable to include all in our programmes that are wanting to attend, so would need to
limit numbers which us something we really don't like doing as we know how much our programme is
needed.
Cost of participation:         An attendance fee is charged but with funding support we keep this as low
                               as possible so everyone can attend

Additional information to             Many of our families really struggle to be able to take their loved one
support the application:              to many public places, this can be due to the attitudes of others
                                      towards their child or if they are aggressive or can become aggressive
                                      while out due to many factors. It is great that we be able to offer
                                      somewhere that they can go and don't need to constantly feel
                                      vulnerable and always on edge. These children and their families
                                      deserve as much respect as everyone else in this world, but
                                      unfortunately don't always get this.

Project: Pasifika Superheroes
Location:                   Tupu Library
Summary:                    I'm making four bilingual children's books based on Pacific superhero characters
                            from legend. Each legend is illustrated by a Pasifika artist, translated into the
                            language it comes from, and turned into an audiobook free for families to access
                            online. The audiobook will be read by a Pasifika actor from the community the
                            legend originates from.
Expertise:                  I've written and published nearly 60 books for young people, mostly Pasifika-
                            themed books. I have worked with Pasifika young people in South Auckland for
                            over 30 years as a Sunday School teacher, youth leader and high school teacher.
                            Chad Robertson, the illustrator, is a former student of mine at Tangaroa College.
                            We have worked on 6 previous books together in this same series.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
         The purpose of the books is to promote positive Pasifika role models to our children, to show them
         that we have our own superhero characters in the Pacific and they are just as worthy to be
         celebrated as Superman, Wonder Woman and the Black Panther. This will add to the self-esteem
         and feelings of pride our children have about their own cultures. It’s important for children to see
         their cultures reflected in literature as this helps them to be engaged with reading and boosts their
         literacy. This is criticial at this time because so many children have lost schooling through effects of
         the pandemic and there is a fear this will have long term effects on educational achievement. Doing
         all we can to inspire our children's literacy is vital all the time but even moreso now. Translating the
         stories into the home languages and having them read online assists in the maintenance of the
language. The use of Pasifika people as artists, translators, composers, voice-work, and cultural
       advisors provides employment opportunities for emerging creative artists and cultural experts. .
Alignment with local board priorities:

       Papakura
           •    Support communities and individuals within Papakura to achieve their goals and aspirations
       I'm working with a team of people to create four bilingual children's books: two Samoan and two
       Tongan. Each story is illustrated by a Pasifika artist, translated into Samoan/Tongan, and turned
       into an audiobook free for families to access online. I have already made Tongan, Samoan, Niuean,
       Tuvaluan and Cook Islands Māori books in this series. Translation and cultural leadership,
       audiobook narration, music and illustrations will be done by people from the Samoan and Tongan
       communities who have worked with me on the other books.
       The purpose of the books is to promote positive Pasifika role models to our children, to show them
       that we have our own superhero characters in the Pacific and they are just as worthy to be
       celebrated as Superman, Wonder Woman and the Black Panther. This will add to the self-esteem
       and feelings of pride our children have about their own cultures. The books will also promote literacy
       by providing more culturally relevant reading material for our young people. Reading literacy is so
       important in our world and so is the power of seeing yourself and your culture reflected in literature.
       Translating the stories into the home languages and having them read online assists in the
       maintenance of the language. The use of Pasifika people as artists, translators, voice-work, and
       cultural advisors provides employment opportunities for emerging creative artists and cultural
       experts. This book is part of a series of books especially written for Pasifika children. It’s important
       for children to see their cultures reflected in literature as this helps them to be engaged with reading
       and boosts their literacy. This is criticial at this time because so many children have lost schooling
       through effects of the pandemic and there is a fear this will have long term effects on educational
       achievement. Doing all we can to inspire our children's literacy is vital all the time but even moreso
       now.
       Please note that a large number of these books will go back into the community for free as part of
       the Kāinga Pukapuka program. Sponsors and some schools buy book packs and gift them to
       families in the community so the families receive them for free. In 2021 free book packs were
       delivered to 50 families in the Papakura area thanks to the Kāinga Pukapuka project.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:
Save up to pay for them with my own funds. It's really helpful when I can get support because that enables
me to make even more books for our young people. The work will go on because it's too important. Please
note that a large number of these books will go back into the community for free as part of the Kāinga
Pukapuka program. Sponsors and some schools buy book packs and gift them to families in the community
so the families receive them for free.

                            Charitable Trust

Conflicts of interest:      None identified

Project: Nourishing and connecting communities in Auckland
Location:                   Community Kitchens across Auckland - St Patrick's Catholic Church (Pukekohe),
                            Salvation Army (Howick), Stoney Homestead (Millwater), Eden Community
                            Church (Mt Eden) and Te Atatu Peninsula Bible Chapel (Te Atatu).
Summary:                    Bellyful volunteers cook, freeze and deliver meals in 25 communities across
                            Aotearoa, 6 of these are in Auckland. Expanding our operation to South Auckland
                            is a priority, but this mahi aroha needs funding and volunteers to be successful.
                            Funding our volunteers to support new and existing communities, while they, like
                            everyone across the motu, are struggling through the current COVID wave, will
                            enable us to support the wellbeing and resilience of communities in Auckland.
Expertise:                  Bellyful New Zealand (BFNZ) has a small team of 5 part-time paid staff (2.2 FTE)
                            and a volunteer board of trustees who support over 500 volunteers across the
                            motu. In the last 2 years we have opened 2 new branches, in remote locations
                            (Whitianga March 2020 and New Plymouth October 2021), both in the middle of a
                            global pandemic. Our team (both paid and volunteer) work together to spread our
                            message of kindness, and working to support communities across Tamaki
                            Makaurau will be no different. Two of our BFNZ team are based in the city, Jacqui
                            Stanford (acting General Manager and Communications Adviser) in Helensville
                            and Sally Warrender (Grants Administrator and volunteer Branch Coordinator for
                            Franklin) in Pukekohe.

                            would acknowledge this grant on our local and national Facebook pages and
                            website, Branch Brochures (see attached Franklin example) and in our annual
                            performance report (attached).

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
Bellyful nourishes and connects communities by cooking and delivering meals to whānau with
       babies or young children, who need support. We provide free, nutritious, child friendly meals for the
       whole whānau, regardless of their size. The only limitation to our service is whether whānau reside
       in our delivery areas. These areas are constrained by volunteers and funding. Bellyful has been
       supporting communities for 13 years, having delivered over 180,000 meals to more than 34,000
       whānau in this time. But we can do more, much more. Liaising with the Neonatal Unit at Middlemore
       Hospital is the first step in this process. By providing meals to this unit, we can connect into
       networks in South Auckland. While we do this, we can support our existing branch volunteers with
       funding for meal production (including ingredients, packaging, cooking and operational equipment),
       and volunteer support (e.g., petrol vouchers, morning tea etc). Volunteering and supporting your
       community has been shown to benefit personally and professionally. Our volunteers tell us that they
       feel valued as a volunteer, that supporting whānau in their communities provides a sense of
       purpose, improves personal wellbeing and connection. Many take on leadership, operational and/or
       administrative roles which improve professional outcomes.
Alignment with local board priorities:
       Papakura
           •   Support communities and individuals within Papakura to achieve their goals and aspirations
       Bellyful nourishes and connects communities by cooking and delivering free meals to whānau with
       babies or young children, who need support. We delivered over 24,000 meals to over 4500 whānau
       in 2021. This is astounding considering that our Auckland branches were closed from August to
       December because of the COVID outbreak. A new baby in the whānau is exciting, but can also be
       exhausting, stressful and isolating in the best of times. Extra stressors on the whānau such as
       illness (e.g., post-natal depression, premature babies, illness) and the lack of a good support
       network compound this stress. Post Covid, many whānau are isolated further from their support
       networks as travel, even locally, has become more difficult or not advised. In these situations,
       support from their local community can help whānau through the tough times. Anyone can refer a
       whānau to Bellyful (with their permission) via our website or by phoning the branch directly. There is
       no financial criteria to access our free service, we understand that young children can be
       challenging, for anyone. We get referrals from Plunket, midwives, neonatal units, social support
       agencies, friends/whānau and the whānau themselves. Volunteers deliver enough meals for the
       whole whānau, enough for 2-3 dinners.

       Regardless of how experienced you are at parenting, there are days when it is just hard. Having a
       volunteer knock on your door, delivering meals for your whole family can be life saving. Not having
       to think about dinner at manic o’clock was great. But it's not just about the meals, it is the support
       that provides recipients with the confidence that they are not only ones finding parenting hard, the
       confidence that you are not alone and that it all will be ok. Even with contactless deliveries, a
       smiling (behind the mask) and friendly volunteer can be all you need to get through the tough times.
       It's this simple support that our volunteers provide which helps whānau become resilient so they can
       adapt to change. Our regular survey of recipients and referrers shows the impact that our service
       provides (see attached). Our research tells us that over 95% of referrers find referring a family a
       simple process and over 95% state that Bellyful provides it service on an impartial, non-judgemental
       basis. We also know from our research that approximately 17% of whānau we deliver to identify as
       Māori, 9% as Asian, 6% as Pasifika & 11% as other ethnic groups. We are constantly looking at
       ways we can increase our support into these priority groups.

       Bellyful's volunteers live in the communities they support so are a vital part of how we operate.
       Across Auckland city our volunteers have continued to cook and deliver meals while the Covid
       Pandemic has continued around us. But volunteering comes at a cost, and with significant rises in
       the cost of living, Bellyful is looking for additional ways to support our volunteer teams. They have
       flexed their delivery techniques to contactless, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. We
       continued to manage significant demand surges and reducing volunteer availability throughout 2021
       (see attached graph). Bellyful works to train and nurture our volunteers so they can support their
       communities, and grow our reach into new communities, and within the communities we already
       support. We are already working with local support agencies, and are now extending this support to
       include the Neonatal unit at Middlemore.
It is this expansion into the wider South Auckland community that we are asking the local board to
       support. By connecting our existing volunteer teams to the Neonatal unit at Middlemore, we will start
       to grow our community networks in this area. We plan, by supporting whānau at the unit, and
       working with local midwives, Plunket and other support agencies, that information and interest in
       Bellyful will spread. We anticipate growing a small hub from the Neonatal unit, and attracting
       volunteers, sponsorship and local support until we cover the remaining areas of South Auckland.
       This will take time and we cannot do it without funding support for meal production and our
       volunteers (e.g., petrol, morning tea etc). We are hoping you will support this initiative so that we
       can welcome South Auckland communities into our Bellyful whānau.

       Each branch is operated and funded independently by local volunteers and supporters. Money
       raised locally supports whānau in our own communities. This aspect of Bellyful’s operation is
       distinct from many other nationally based charities, particularly for people wanting to make a
       difference in their community. With ongoing uncertainty due to recent community transmission and
       gathering restrictions we continue to be unable to hold traditional fundraisers due to risks associated
       with cancellation costs, reduced sponsorship and patronage. Support for the costs associated with
       producing meals will take the strain off our volunteers, who can concentrate on the communities
       they support.

                              We use recycled and recyclable plastic containers which must be freezer
                              stable and meet strict food safety guidelines for most of our meals. We
                              encourage whānau to reuse and recycle containers as much as possible.
                              Many last for significant periods after initial use, and can easily be washed
                              before being recycled.
                              We use (and hide) many vegetables in our meals, attempting to promote

Financial information
Amount requested:               $46500.00
Requesting grant for:           We are requesting support for 5 of our 6 Auckland branches for meal
                                production, volunteer support (e.g., petrol vouchers, training etc) and delivery
                                costs (e.g., packaging, ingredients, brochures, design, cooking equipment,
                                and branch telephones). We are experiencing significant cost increases
                                while fundraising options are limited.
                                We are requesting support to extend our service into the Neonatal Unit at
                                Middlemore Hospital. Once established we will use Middlemore as a hub to
                                start extending our support into South Auckland communities. We expect this
                                area to need the support of at least 3 volunteer teams to keep up with
                                anticipated demand.
If part funded, how would you make up the difference:
We will set up support for the Middlemore Neonatal Unit regardless of this funding outcome. Expanding our
service beyond the unit, to cover South Auckland is funding dependent. We need funding and volunteers to
create new branches. We hope that by supporting the Middlemore unit we will inspire more interest in the
community as people become aware of our free, no judgement service.
Our drive to support our branches and volunteers with support for meal production, volunteer and delivery
costs will continue. Branches are finding it more difficult to attract volunteers and delivery costs (e.g., petrol)
are one factor.

Summary:                 StarJam programmes embrace diversity and inclusion, bringing benefit to people
                         isolated and disadvantaged by disability and who lack opportunities for recreation,
                         particularly based around music.

                         StarJam programme has 3 components:
                         a) weekly community music workshops: a welcoming participant-centered
                         recreational outlet
                         promoting learning through social/ physical/ mental activity. Focus on positive
                         interaction
                         with freedom to be musically creative and to input ideas.

                         b) quarterly community discos (open to people with disabilities from wider
                         community):
                         people with disabilities can socialise and dance in a safe environment free from
                         judgment.

                         c) community performance programme; a public showcase for Jammers’ music
                         skills,
                         instilling confidence, promoting connecting with/giving back to community.
Expertise:               StarJam is a highly respected organisation with a solid track record of delivering
                         an inclusive and sustainable programme. StarJam has had 20 years of continuous
                         growth since inception in August 2002 when just 2 workshops for 24 Auckland
                         youth with disabilities. Attendance, feedback and continued inquiries from our
community affirms our reputation as a provider of quality programmes for youth
                            with disabilities. Numbers have grown steadily to current figures of over 800
                            participants attending 70 regional workshops. With many areas experiencing
                            heavy waiting lists and new regions asking for our services, we feel confident that
                            our expansions plan to reach 116 workshops by the end of 2025 is both timely and
                            much needed.

Community benefits
Identified community outcomes:
         Young members of the community living with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in
         regular active recreation in an environment without judgement, therefore reducing isolation and
         developing self-worth. These ‘Jammers’ are be able to develop physical, emotional and social skill
         sets that will support successful integration into communities and assist them to reach their full
         potential. StarJam performances and social community events reduce intolerance and bullying; to
         help remove many of the misconceptions and pre-conceived bias towards people with disabilities as
         they focus on what our members are able to do, rather than their disability.

         The community benefits through education around disability, building strong connections with all
         members of the community and highlights inclusivity of all - developing a sense of acceptance and
         trust in a non-judgmental environment. Parents, caregivers and whanau experience a network of
         support from their community and can have pride in observing the amazing achievements of their
         child.
Alignment with local board priorities:
         Papakura
             •   Support communities and individuals within Papakura to achieve their goals and aspirations
         StarJam offers 1 workshop in the Papakura area called the 'Takanini Twisters'.Many of our
         participants (Jammers) are faced with daily physical, mental and emotional challenges as well as
         experiencing bullying, isolation and exclusion. The detrimental impact that this has on their overall
         hauora is difficult for not only the participants but their whanau and caregivers. StarJam offers a
         lifeline to an often marginalised group- where irrespective of their disability they are met with a true
sense of belonging and inclusivity. Jammers are given a space that is truly theirs; where they will
       not be judged and where they are able to explore their new found talents, confidence and motivation
       to be involved.

       Within these music, singing and dance workshops, social events and performances; Jammers are
       supported by their tutor, volunteers and Jammer friends and essentially develop their emotional,
       physical and social skills. These skills are vital in assisting them to integrate and contribute to their
       communities - creating positive change in their lives and the lives of those around them.

       Throughout the Covid-19 restrictions, we ensured that our Jammers could stay connected when
       face-to-face workshops were unable to happen. StarJam established an online platform so that
       Jammers could still join their regular workshops in real-time from the safety of their own homes.
       This online platform is used whenever the need arises, ensuring much needed stability and support
       for Jammers and their whanau.

       StarJam enables strong, inclusive communities by providing a place of acceptance for youth with
       disabilities, and by building connections with the public through our performance programme. These
       opportunities for other members of the community to be a part of StarJam performances
       consolidates the strong sense of validation, contribution, empowerment and inclusivity that these
       Jammers may not otherwise experience.
