Community is our priority. Belonging is a basic human need and each of us participate in and belong to a number of communities each and every day. A young person may be part of a secondary school, sport, work, wider family and geographical community each day, however, they may interact differently within each of these communities.
At Taumarunui Youth and Community Trust (TYCT) our goal is to build on the sense of belonging by strengthening, maintaining and creating vehicles for valuable interactions not only for young people but all our community members.
We can all make positive contributions to our community and the benefits of these contributions for Taumarunui are a focus for TYCT. TYCT is a charitable trust created in 2016 as a platform to nurture other groups, and their members, that may benefit from belonging to a supportive network with TYCT as the umbrella organisation.
Benefits for our community and its members that TYCT aim to create and support are:

The Trust has been able to support groups to re-energise their membership and many have flourished with the support and partnership of the Trust. Participation has increased from both members and volunteers in a number of groups affiliated with the Trust. We currently provide support to:

Being a very rural community can be seen by many to be a negative. However, it is clear we have so many great positives in our community to be grateful for and embrace and TYCT work hard to discover, highlight and build on these positives with and for our community.
Funds raised will help to go towards the ongoing operations, we foresee that TYCT has the ability to continue to entertain, inspire and galvanise our community.
