Our Funding Managers Funding Managers form an essential link between The Tindall Foundation and the groups we support. They play an integral role in making decisions about donations on our behalf so that smaller organisations and projects have the means to support communities and restore our environment. They give donations on our behalf in two programme areas – Supporting Families & Social Services, and Caring for our Environment. We are yet to find another philanthropic organisation here or overseas who have adopted this approach to funding.
“The Tindall Foundation’s partnership with Funding Managers allows its funding to reach deep into the community” three-year agreements (divided into Regional, Faith and Environmental managers). Local Allocation Committees in Northland, Tairawhiti/Gisborne and Taranaki also make recommendations to our Trustees.

Christchurch Community Gardens After the February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake, New Brighton Community Gardens and Sydenhambased Christchurch South Community Gardens found increased demand from residents for both food and social support. “We opened temporarily on Saturdays after the quakes,” remembered Cathy Sweet, Business Manager of New Brighton Community Gardens (NBCG). “So many people wanted company and a positive activity.”
“I’m learning much more about gardening and growing fruit trees” At Christchurch South Community Gardens (CSCG), our donation helped with projects like public signage. “This has allowed us to portray a range of sustainability concepts, from valuing Te Reo to caring about our water quality,” commented Christine Blance, Trust Manager.

These innovative gardens are nurturing strong communities, who help each other through the challenges they continue to face as Christchurch rebuilds.

Interacting with others is a key attraction for the gardeners. For Graeme Dickey, a volunteer at NBCG, “It’s about meeting more locals and making good friends. And I’m learning much more about gardening and growing fruit trees.” The Tindall Foundation backed both of these community gardens as part of our strategy to support and improve the resilience of those who were affected by the Canterbury Earthquakes.

Youth Connections Across Auckland Youth Connections Across Auckland (YCAA) is a highly successful initiative to guide school leavers into a future of work or study. Auckland Council runs the programme with support from Hugh Green Foundation, Auckland Airport Community Trust and The Tindall Foundation. With 34,000 young Aucklanders not in education, employment or training (NEET) as of March 2013 – an increase from 26,000 in June 2012 – the issue is pressing. Youth Connections brokers work to link young people with local employers, agencies, schools and tertiary education providers. “The programme is a godsend,” commented Ron Brightmore, Careers Advisor at Mount Roskill Grammar School. Dale Williams, Mayor of Otorohanga and Chairman of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs, described YCAA as “a powerful movement designed to deliver the greatest collaboration of local employers, young people and communities in Auckland’s history.”

At The Tindall Foundation, we are committed to supporting projects that address issues of unemployment and help provide young people with pathways to jobs.

The Kindle Book Reading Club opens the doors to a reading future
The Kindle Book Reading Club Putting a modern spin on reading, The Kindle Book Reading Club is inspiring a love of books among young people in Waiau. This small North Canterbury settlement lacks the range of after-school learning opportunities found in larger centres, so local flower grower Marina Shearer formed the club in response. The club purchases Kindle e-readers that members aged 12 to 16 can use to read selected books. Over a 12-month period the participants write book reviews and reports, as well as attending fortnightly ‘book club’ discussions. On completion, they get to keep their Kindle.
“I find it interesting to hear other people’s opinions about the books” their ideas, and also help with their school English programme. Kitty Brett, a 16-year-old member, said she had benefited from discovering “books that I would not have picked for myself but have really enjoyed. I find it interesting to hear other people’s opinions about

The Tindall Foundation hopes to improve wellbeing and resilience among young people and the wider community through our Funding Managers, especially in isolated and rural communities. We allocated this programme $5000 per year for up to three years, enabling ten children to complete each year’s course and to earn a Kindle. For more information contact: Marina Shearer, Manager Email: marinashearer@slingshot.co.nz To read the full web article, click on the following link: tindall.org.nz/portfolio/the-kindle-book-readingclub/
“The incentive to own your own Kindle has been great,” said Marina, the club’s Manager. “In October 2013 our first group of Kindle owners emerged from the book club.” Marina saw reading as the avenue for rural youth to view the world through different eyes, broaden
the books and I like reading in the Kindle format.”

Manurewa Parenting Hub The challenge of being a parent and supporting a family is what inspired Linda Biggs to establish the Manurewa Parenting Hub (MPH) in 2008. It started as a personal vision to help other parents, but in just a few years MPH has achieved much more. “Parents talk about being more connected and less lonely, more confident about their role as parents and being involved with their child’s school, and generally more positive about life,” said Linda, now Manager of MPH.
“I can take on any challenge that comes my way” at local schools to 4500 parent attendees. Maile Young, a mother of three, said MPH has changed her life. “It has made me a confident person and I feel I can take on any challenge that comes my way.”
7
At The Tindall Foundation we know that the first three years of a child’s life are critical to long-term wellbeing and success. Through our donations to projects like MPH, we aim to support parents by giving them access to the vital skills they need to help their children in these early years. For more information contact: Linda Biggs, Manager Email: lindabiggs@inspire.net.nz Website: www.parentinghub.org.nz
MPH is housed in six schools in Manurewa, with a staff of eight (six of them local residents). Its main focuses are positive parenting, healthy family relationships and encouraging parental involvement in children’s education. The Hub also offers help with work opportunities and its Return to the Workforce programme has guided 30 parents into employment as teacher aides. From July 2012 to June 2013 MPH delivered programmes

Age Concern Horowhenua A growing population of over-65s is creating an increased need for support around issues such as elder abuse. Age Concern is at the forefront of New Zealand’s response, with its nationwide advocacy for the rights and wellbeing of older people. “Our vision is to provide an inclusive society, where older people, koroua and kuia are respected, valued, supported and empowered,” said Anna Auty, Social Worker for Levin-based Age Concern Horowhenua.
“Our vision is to provide an inclusive society, where older people, koroua and kuia are respected” The Tindall Foundation hopes to support and enhance the lives of the most disadvantaged people in our communities. This project is improving the prospects of older people by connecting with those who are vulnerable, then empowering and supporting them.

Our donation has helped Age Concern to increase the employment of its part-time Manager to 20 hours per week, which Anna welcomed. “The increasing need in the community for our services had become difficult to manage without having the Manager working longer hours,” she said. For more information contact: Anna Auty, Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention Worker Email: eanp@ageconcernhoro.co.nz Website: www.ageconcern.org.nz/council/horowhenua
In Horowhenua, the Age Concern office provides services, information and advocacy for some 700 older people, plus their families, carers and allied professionals. United Way, The Tindall Foundation’s Funding Manager in the region, recognised its need for more resources. “All of this work in Horowhenua is done by a staff of 2, with 18 volunteers,” explained Greg Thorburn, a volunteer at United Way in Manawatu. “At the time of their evaluation, Age Concern Horowhenua was dealing with 56 cases of elder abuse.”

Taranaki Adult Literacy Services “Whilst most New Zealanders are comfortable with their literacy skills, a large number are not”
“Whilst most New Zealanders are comfortable with their literacy skills, a large number are not,” observed Taranaki Adult Literacy Services (TALS) Chairperson Tony Pugh. “With our input and support, these people can enjoy a positive change in their social, work and recreational lives.” TALS’ mission is to provide quality adult literacy and learning assistance to adults throughout Taranaki at no cost to the learner. During the period from 2009 to 2012 the service helped over 400 people across the province to gain literacy and numeracy skills, a quest that has proved invaluable in the job market and everyday life. Michael, a 60-year-old student, recalled: “I was a bit slow at school and got pushed through the system without really having my issues dealt with. I missed out on so much. I now find it a big achievement to text, to read the newspaper and to do my work so much better.”
9
TALS’ work helps with skills like budgeting, because there is a link between lack of numeracy skills and poor financial decisions. Students are given confidential, one-to-one tuition using a range of resources that can prove to be life changing.
Understanding traffic signs and completing application forms are some of the core literacy skills imparted by volunteer staff like Tutor Dory Williams
From 2009 to 2012, The Tindall Foundation supported Taranaki Adult Literacy Services with a donation of $10,000 per year towards its Manager’s wages. We want to help develop the literacy of people and families in order to improve their wellbeing, resilience and progress in areas of their lives such as stepping up in employment.

Biota nodes are a key tool. Greg Byrnes, Park Manager, described them as a series of fenced areas around waterholes, up to 300 metres apart. So far the park has 9 nodes covering 12,550 square metres, planted with over 3500 native plants, which will gradually create a biodiversity skeleton for restoring forest, sand dunes and freshwater lagoons. The programme “has been very successful at engaging not only local schools, but also other groups and businesses, to adopt nodes,” commented Jenny Lynch, WWF Community Conservation Coordinator.
