Kia Ora, 

My name is Don and I am a Community Development Worker here at the Neighbourhood Trust.  I’m involved in kai support; overseeing the creation of the Mairehau Neighbourhood Garden; supporting men; and co-facilitating a Dads parenting course called Game On!  I love the example of the monarch butterfly – one that speaks of transformation.  We all have things in life that bring challenges and limitations (like a caterpillar that can’t fly), but there’s always hope and in my role I get to encourage and support people as they strive for their own personal transformation.

Kia Ora,

I’m Sarah and I’m the Operations Manager at the Neighbourhood Trust. I like seeing the potential in others and helping people meet their goals. I have a very diverse role within the trust that means that no two days are the same. I oversee the distribution of Kai into the community, help community members to create CVs to be able to seek employment, and run a fun and social Strength and Balance for people over 60s. When I am not working, I will either be at a sports event or playing board games.

Greetings!

I joined the NHT team mid 2023 after 32 years living in SE Asia. While overseas, I kept a close link and connection to life in NZ. I joined the NHT team as a Community Development Worker and am excited to be working with woman in St Albans and Mairehau.

My heart is for people to be empowered in all areas of their lives, bringing out the best they can be, and having hope and purpose.

 Women’s Connections is running every Tuesday from 12 – 2pm. I also facilitate CAP Money courses and am involved in Kai support. I’m here as a listening ear and support for women in the community.
