Detour Theatre
We produce four shows (plays) a year and run weekly drama classes for children, teens, adults, seniors and groups with special needs. We cover a wide range of acting and performance skills and are committed to providing quality tuition in a supportive theatre environment.
We provide a safe, supportive and empowering support service for families/whānau who have a loved one experiencing mental health challenges and/or addiction issues in the Bay of Plenty. From support groups and services to educational resources, we are here to help you.
We offer advocacy, clinical and social support for the Bay’s transgender and non-binary community. We work with individuals and their families/whānau to best meet their needs in accordance with international standards of care and LGBTQI+ cultural sensitivities.
We provide free counselling and support services for young people (under 25) and their families seeking help with alcohol or drug problems. Our team of registered health professionals genuinely care about youth wellbeing and have the specialist skills to support them.
Our mission is to transform young lives forever through long-term learning and mentoring. We run a range of positive youth development programmes to build self-esteem and equip tamariki and rangatahi with life, education and health skills and the confidence to thrive.
We work to raise awareness of the issues facing older adults and to advocate for policies and practices that meet their needs. Our aim is to create a more age-inclusive society where seniors live in dignity and can enjoy a rewarding, safe, and sustainable quality of life.
Our vision is to nurture, encourage and showcase the creative arts. We make creative experiences accessible to all by providing regular workshops, exhibitions and events to empower local artists and allow the community to engage in a wide range of art and cultural activities.
We enhance the wellbeing of mature men by providing a workshop where they can participate in manual crafts. We make and sell small wooden items, toys and homewares, repair broken furniture, and build projects for community groups, schools and charities using recycled timber.
We promote cultural diversity and harmony, and protect the interests of different ethnic groups which make up today’s society. We provide English lessons, driving assistance, networking events plus health, education and employment information to support new migrants.
We specialise in improving the technology skills of adults over 40 years of age so they can enjoy using computers, smartphones and tablets in their everyday lives. We provide small, friendly and stress-free classes to help members gain the skills and confidence they need.
Shakti means ‘strength’ and we serve migrant and refugee women so they can live safe and dignified lives. We help them escape domestic violence and support them in a non-judgmental way so they can become self-reliant and build a new future for themselves and their children.
We work with individuals and family/whānau to help them reduce debt and financial stress, increase their savings and become more financially resilient. Our free, confidential and non-judgmental advice from trained financial mentors will help get your budget under control.
We support children and adults living with dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities by offering diagnostic assessments and one-on-one tuition to improve learning and literacy. We also provide support, training and resources for teachers, families and employers.
People living with, or recovering from, mental health and addiction issues seek our help to feel safe and supported. We help them develop meaningful relationships and skills so they can integrate and participate in society. We also support their chosen recovery paths.
Broadcasting for the last four decades on the 1368AM frequency, our radio announcers and technical operators volunteer their time to share our large collection of nostalgic music from the 1920s through to the early 2000s. We welcome requests and on-air chats.
We bring together youth aged 13-24 and focus on meaningful conversations that drive real change, working together on community projects and collaborating with local organisations to provide fresh youth perspectives and empowering the change-makers of tomorrow.
