This programme will not be available for the near future. We will update this page when it is up and running again.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Whether you need an encourager, a wall to bounce ideas off, an advocate or just somebody to share the journey – I am available to meet and support you in the most appropriate way – or to ensure you have access to the supports you need.
As a Community Development worker, I can meet with you to chat at a time that works for you. It is in talking and sharing with others that we can make sense of who we are and what our next steps need to be.
Contact me to make a time to meet up.

Dawn Hastings
Community Development Worker

Community Development Worker & Golden Connections Coordinator
I have been working for the Trust since June 2020, bringing past experience working in mental health, peer support and group facilitation. Key aspects of my role are engaging with the Mairehau & neighbouring communities through kai support, women’s self-development, providing parenting and individual support particularly to Mums. I am particularly interested in understanding trauma and the impact on mental health. I also coordinate the Golden Connections programme, and love spending time with people who have lived such varied and interesting lives.
I raised 4 children on my own, and I now enjoy spending time with my grandchildren; which has the best parts of parenting, without all the responsibility.
