Reflecting on Impact: Our Annual Roundtable Reporting

Recently, we hosted our annual roundtable reporting session — a dedicated space for open kōrero with recipients of our community grants. These gatherings are more than just check-ins; they’re a chance to connect, reflect, and celebrate the real-world impact of the mahi being done across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Around the table were representatives from organisations working tirelessly in areas such as youth mentoring, food security, and housing support. Each story shared painted a powerful picture of grassroots change — from helping rangatahi build confidence and purpose, to ensuring whānau have reliable access to nutritious kai, and supporting people into safe and stable housing.

We’re always reminded during these sessions why this kaupapa matters. It’s not just about funding projects; it’s about relationships, trust, and the long-term outcomes we can achieve together. These roundtables allow us to better understand the challenges on the ground, share learnings, and build stronger connections across our network of changemakers.

We’re incredibly grateful to all who joined us and shared so openly. Your insights and dedication continue to inspire our work and guide how we can best support lasting impact in our communities.
