Diamond Harbour Youth and Community Trust

Diamond Harbour Youth and Community Trust is a small local trust focused on supporting the well-being of the local youth and community.

Our community support encompasses our Shoppers Van, home visits, walks, outings and social events for seniors and the vulnerable in our community. We know that if people are connected to each other and the services they need they’re more likely to thrive. We love being part of the reason people can stay active and present in our local community by giving them access to friendship and practical support. Annually we offer more than 600 hours of support to seniors and the vulnerable in our community and engage with more than 100 individuals throughout the year.

DHYCT youth work supports young people by encouraging an adventurous spirit and creating space for youth to grow and build strong connections with each other and with caring adults. Each week our 24-7 Youth Worker spends time with tamariki at Diamond Harbour School and our community youth work offers rangatahi access to adventures like: surfing, swimming, rock climbing, wilderness skills, team building and games. Annually we offer more than 1400 hours of youth work and engage with about 120 local rangatahi through our activities.

We also offer multiple community wide events which are an invitation for people to come and connect with one another throughout the year.
