    Once again - a massive heartfelt thank you to all of our generous supporters.

    With your help we made it to the target, and this allowed us to even better support rangatahi to thrive throughout the season. Funds specifically helped with rangatahi needing food and accommodation support, as well as ensuring the Christmas parcels for the young parents group were extra special.

    While this campaign may be finished for now, we invite you to consider being a supporter on our ongoing fundraising page. https://givealittle.co.nz/org/evolveyouth

    Like the Christmas campaign, funds received from this source really makes a difference and allows us to level up in our work with rangatahi. The collective support of people contributing in this way ensures we can plan with confidence.

    Have a safe and happy new year, and don't be a stranger.

  • We made it - Stretch Goals Activated!

    Once again, a massive shout out to our generous supporters. Rawe!

    We we set out we weren't sure what the response would be, so set the goal of $1000 as what we thought would be a reasonable target that would have an impact.

    You've all blown us away by helping us achieve that target so soon.

    We're adding the stretch goals, now - further support will continue to make a difference for rangatahi in Pōneke, allowing them to thrive.

    Your generosity has already helped as we've arranged food parcels and meals for a number of rangatahi in challenging situations. Further donations will allow us to support rangatahi with:

    * Clothing/Bedding ($50-$75)

    * Transport costs to appointments/job interview ($5-$15)

    * Prescription costs ($5)

    * One night of urgent accommodation when all other avenues have been exhausted ($100)

    * Other urgent needs that come up that we aren't specifically funded for

    The Evolve team appreciates the ability to commit these funds where needed - and rangatahi are blown away that the community have stepped up alongside them!

    Only a few days in and we're almost halfway to our goal - thank you to everyone who has been involved so far.

    We'd appreciate it if you could share this page with your networks and friends to help us reach our goal. The team are already excited at the opportunity to make things that little bit more manageable for rangatahi this Christmas!
