YouthLink Helping Young People

BP vouchers for fuel have helped our volunteer mentors to go the extra mile for our clients.

Youthlink has benefited tremendously over many years from the kind support of The Elaine Gurr Endowment Trust, administered by Guardian Trust. Funding support has assisted with sports and recreation equipment for our young people, the development of new initiatives including KorowaiLink and general operating costs.We acknowledge the generosity of spirit of Elaine Gurr and look to use funding support wisely with the children and young people with whom we work.

The NZ Lottery Grants Board has supported Youthlink over many years. This significant support has gone into a range of service provision including staff training and supervision and the development of a specfic care support initiative within Youthlink.The support with these initiatives has been crucial to the incremental improvement of service delivery.

The ASB Community Trust has supported YouthLink for many years provided funding for operating costs and for specific projects. A recent example of this is the support received for YouthLink's KorowaiLink project in terms of programme equipment. This support helps provide a basis for better programme outcomes.

The Lion Foundation over a five year period has provided solid support to YouthLink via the provision of funding to enhance the sporting and recreational environment for the young people on our programme.Sporting gear purchased had been well received and utilized by our clients. This type of support will greatly enhance the work of our new Activities Coordinator whose role is to develop social and recreational options for the young people in YouthLink's care via an individualised plan. The support of agencies such as The Lion Foundation assists significantly with these processes.
