We’re pretty gutted that all our clubs, programmes and events are currently postponed, but we still want to connect and support you and your whanau.

Here’s our plans:

• Sharing daily ideas, games, activities and challenges that you can do at home, on our Facebook and Instagram Pages. We don’t want you to get bored and there are so many cool things you can do!
• We will continue to connect with young people and families we have relationships with via the phone and video calls. Particularly those being mentored, our volunteers and Mums in our Beach Tots Playgroups.
• Our Mana Ake team will continue their work supporting wellbeing in families, over the phone and video calls, and sharing resources to help the wider community too.
• If anyone is looking for a bit of extra support or advice, for either their young person or their own parenting, email: care@yat.org.nz and one of our team will be in touch. We are stronger together during this time, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
• Amplify School of Music tutors will continue to offer lessons online if possible.

We appreciate all of the leaders and volunteers who give their time and energy to bring hope to young people in our community! You’re a special group of people!

We would like to offer you a FREE YAT Hoodie – thanks for a funding application we submitted to Trillian Foundation. Here is the draft design (although we’re currently doing some tweaking). We need to know the answers to these three questions before end of the day on Monday 27th March 2023:

1. Would you like one? (no offense if not keen or unlikely to wear it)
2. What colour would you like?
3. What size would you like?

Emily has the sample colours and sizes which she can show you at clubs this week, or pop into the YAT offices anytime to view them and try them on. Can leave accessible for Sunday if that’s the only time you’re in.

Please confirm your order with Emily either by text: 020 4125 2362 or email: volunteer@yat.org.nz

18500 Gildan Heavy Blend Adult Hooded Sweatshirt

Colour Options are (left to right)
