The Move On ‘Move On Orders’ event in Tauranga brought together local voices to oppose the proposal and speak openly about the barriers our homeless face

Move On Where? Local Voices Respond to Proposed Move On Orders

On March 29, over 150 community members and 20+ local organizations gathered at Holy Trinity Church to oppose proposed Move On Orders. From blanket drives to political advocacy, see how Tauranga is standing up for its homeless community and calling for compassion over criminalisation.

Organisational Advisor Change

We are bidding a fond farewell to our long-standing Organisational Advisor, Christa George, as she moves on to new ventures. We are also thrilled to welcome Ani Stace to the team, who brings a wealth of hands-on experience to support our Western Bay of Plenty for-purpose organisations.
