2024-25 Community Impact Report
In 2024, The Y Hawke’s Bay continued to deliver meaningful, high-quality programmes across youth development, OSCAR services, and community outreach. Our youth development programme provided over 90 sessions and 1,000 attendances, offering safe, creative, and culturally enriching opportunities such as sports, arts, outdoor adventures, and a significant youth-led pou unveiling and overnight camp. OSCAR programmes strengthened compliance, quality, and staff capability, completing a full policy review, improving administrative systems, and enriching daily programming through initiatives like the Y Challenge and the Five Ways to Wellbeing. Meanwhile, the Y Ki Waho Play Trailer brought accessible play to local parks, engaging more than 1,700 community members across 46 sessions and forming strong partnerships in Camberley and Flaxmere. Together, these programmes demonstrate our commitment to safe, impactful, and community-centred services, with a continued focus on strengthening outcomes, measuring impact, and meeting the evolving needs of tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau across Hawke’s Bay.
2023-24 Community Impact Report
In 2023, The Y Hawke’s Bay delivered a year of strong positive impact, offering diverse, child-led OSCAR programmes, vibrant holiday activities, and transformative youth development experiences. Tamariki enjoyed a wide range of programme options, from crafts and sports to technology and group play, while holiday programmes provided standout adventures such as cycling from Clive to Haumoana, horse riding at Acres Wild, and visits from Circus in a Flash, Giants Boxing Academy, and Basketball Hawke’s Bay. Our Intermediate Leadership Camp supported 24 Year 7 and 8 students with a free four-day experience focused on confidence, leadership, and connection, and community partnerships extended these benefits even further. A major achievement was the launch of Raise Up, where a committed crew of six youth delivered events, workshops, and outreach that contributed to 1530 youth engagements. Overall, 2023 was a year of growth, engagement, and meaningful outcomes, reflecting The Y Hawke’s Bay’s commitment to empowering tamariki and rangatahi across the region.
