From our CEO
JANUARY 2021
Kia ora koutou.
Welcome to 2021. It feels like a year with fresh optimism, and nervousness
intertwined. I am sure many of us have breathed a collective sigh of relief
to see the recent change of leadership in America and at the same time
nervous at what this New Year may bring for our communities.
Last year was challenging for many in the community. We must acknowledge
the impact that Covid 19 had on our community agencies and those who
worked so hard to keep everything going during the lockdowns. We salute
you! The community superbly stepped up at this time and many were
able to see the need for services that are offered everyday quietly without
fanfare to our most vulnerable. Normally these services go unnoticed and
mostly recognition is never sought. At times of crisis where would we be
without community agencies? We were so impressed with how people YVONNE POWLEY
came together and gave selflessly throughout the lockdown periods. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
ANCAD had an enormously busy year in 2020 with COVID communications,
responding to immediate needs and quickly putting in place training and
workshops requested by our community stakeholders. Of course, we wit-
nessed some worrying things, such as an increase in family violence on the
North Shore, considerable issues around emergency housing and housing
availability, issues of racism and inequality. The housing market has been
going mad and has become even more unaffordable, with a lack of suitable
rentals. We’ve also seen crazy divisive election politics seemingly becoming
the norm…and the list goes on! But we must remember the positives.
Some key positive memories of 2020:
• We changed how we worked. Zoom became the communication
norm. Zoom is now ensconced in ANCAD’s delivery going forward. It’s
efficiency, taking the hassle out of parking.
• No cars on the road.
• Beautiful blue skies and seas reminding us how things can be and how
we must fix up the climate.
• Working from home has facilitated flexible working arrangements
becoming the norm.
• Appreciating time with our families, cooking new things that normally
we have no time for.
• Long walks.
• Bears of all shapes and sizes in the windows to offer cheer at an
otherwise a difficult time.
• Rediscovering the beauty of New Zealand in the absence of overseas
travel.
• Families walking with their children and pets in the middle of the
road.
• The pleasure in working together with our committed wonderful
partners.
3
• Talking to the neighbours over the fence and new locals from a
distance.
What we’re hoping for in 2021 – no more lockdowns, wellbeing in the
community, widespread responsive service delivery, vaccines that work
and are safe, a stronger economy as we rebuild post-COVID, and a great
year for all our clients and communities with enough funding to go around
for our community agencies.
We should take time to celebrate how fortunate we are in New Zealand
compared to the rest of the world.
To all of our wonderful agencies, our government colleagues, funders and
partners we hope you have an awesome year ahead. We don’t know what
2021 is going to bring but ANCAD is certainly up for the challenge.
Ka kite ano.

INFORMING COMMUNITIES
Collaborate, merge or…
At last count, Charities Services reported 27,240 registered charities in
New Zealand. I am betting that a large number of those are glad 2020 is
over and are now furiously trying to figure out how to survive 2021.
For the lucky few of you, life will be business as usual. Sadly, for many, as
the public (and Government) inevitably start to tighten their belts, your
organisation’s survival might mean downsizing, ramping up the fundraising
efforts or drawing down on emergency funds to keep you afloat.
If you are in the survival category, I encourage you to add collaborating or
merging with organisations that have similar aims and structure to your list
of possible outcomes.
When I think about collaboration, I am reminded of the poster I had above
my desk when I worked for New Internationalist magazine. We were a
tiny office of two, so working with others to achieve our goals was almost
mandatory.
I no longer work for them, but I still have the poster as I firmly believe in
collaborating with others to achieve common objectives. During my long
history with not for profit organisations, I have met many who have thought
the same. Most recently, Craig Fisher and Steven Moe from RSM published
a paper in June 2020, titled – Charting the Future, a framework for thinking
about change. In it, they discuss a way forward for not for profits caught in
the Covid crisis through collaboration or merger with others with similar
purpose and structure.
Is it time to collaborate?
Collaboration usually entails pooling resources on a joint project or

NPO’s collaborate by:
• Sharing physical facilities such as office space and equipment.
• Sharing ‘backroom’ services – payroll, accounting, information
technology, storage.
• Sharing volunteers, secondment of staff – maybe even grant writers
• Cooperating at a planning level including allocating activities/clients to
reduce duplication.
• Sharing aspects of management/governance.
Maybe it’s time to merge?
Mergers are slightly more rare than collaborations in the NGO world but
are not unheard of. For example, several organisations that once operated
a collection of regional groups, with their own committees and structures,
have now merged to form one national organisation with one Board and a
head office overseeing nationwide activity.

Birds in our parks
JENNY CHAMBERLAIN Centennial Park Bush Society members have conducted monthly Bird
CENTENNIAL PARK Walks since November 2007 and have gathered extensive data on the
BUSH SOCIETY park’s bird life. The following is an extract from the Bird Report for Friday
22 January, 2021.
A small flock of us – Liz, Marilyn, Richard, Nadine, Paula and Jenny –
gathered at 6.25am, at the top of Park Rise, for the first walk of 2021.
It’s unusual to have this many birders on the walk and I must admit the
interesting conversations were an irresistible distraction. The day was cool

Safer Internet Day, celebrated globally every February, is a day dedicated
to promoting a safer online world. The internet’s pretty enticing these
days – it’s remarkable how much of our lives we live online and how many
priceless life hacks the internet offers.
Considering we spend much time there, we think it deserves a little attention,
a home reno if you will. Unfortunately making the internet a more enjoyable
place for all of us takes more than asking “Does this spark joy?”. But there
are steps that we can all take to make the internet a safer place, and we’re
hoping you’ll join us. Netsafe is the official organising committee in New
Zealand. We’re encouraging everyone to join the kōrero in our communities
and networks about how we can all strive for a safer internet.
Why does Safer Internet Day matter?
New Zealand’s internet consumption reached an all-time high in the
past year. This has meant online harm has also increased – and that isn’t
showing any indication of reducing.
Netsafe has witnessed scam loss reports increase by 69 percent, reports
from educators skyrocket 58 percent, requests for help with digital
parenting balloon 155 percent and notifications of objectionable material
Tuesday 9 February being supplied or distributed grow 66 per cent.
Because of these numbers, Netsafe is anticipating its most significant Safer
Internet Day ever.
