2009 Recipients

The Positive Pathways Programme is a local initiative for adolescent males aged 12-14 years, and their families and has been developed by counselling and family therapy agency, Relationship Services and alternative education provider, Impac Tauranga. The programme’s vision is to reduce violent crime within our community.   It seeks to achieve this by working with young males exhibiting violent and aggressive behaviour to gain the skills to live a violence-free lifestyle before it becomes an adult way of living their lives.

Tauranga Riding for the Disabled is a Registered Charitable Trust affiliated to the New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Association. We operate throughout the Bay of Plenty region and provide therapeutic horse related activities for children and adults with physical, mental, cognitive, social or behavioural needs. This includes riding, horsemanship and vocational skills. Our clients range in ages from three to sixty and come from all walks of life. Because horse riding is an activity which stimulates and exercises both mentally and physically, it is ideal for people with disabilities as well as those that are disadvantaged, at risk or have mental and social issues.
