A Few Willing Hands
A few willing hands and a whole lot of jobs getting ticked off the list. Thanks to everyone who’s pitched in this week.
With Wonder
We can’t wait to share With Wonder with our young people and see where their imaginations take them.
Choosing To Give Back
From Journey Back to Awesome … to helping someone else find their way there too. When we walk alongside each other, the journey feels a little less lonely.
Helping Create The Awesome
A HUGE thank you to our amazing working bee crew who worked tirelessly to give our Youth in Transition spaces some much-loved attention.
Wholesome Simple Things
Pizza making might look like a bit of fun (and there’s definitely plenty of that ), it’s also about something much bigger.... building critical life skills.
World Suicide Prevention Day
Sometimes the most important thing we can do is notice someone, check in, listen without judgement and let them know they don’t have to face things alone.
Dogs & Dinner
Duke House hosted a very special Dogs & Dinner afternoon this week and it was every bit as lovely as it sounds!
A Tour of Duke House
Some of our wonderful Hope Shop volunteers swapped the shop floor for a little field trip to Duke House, and what a morning it was!
Support Group
When life feels hard, having something to look forward to can make a bigger difference than we sometimes realise.
Alfie’s Therapy Cuddles
Sometimes therapy is a good walk, a waggy tail, a little fresh air and a LOT of cuddles. Sometimes, that’s all you need.
Growing Together
Calling all green thumbs! 🌱 Get involved, get growing and help us grow something together at Duke House.
Every Young Person Matters
On International Youth Day we celebrated the energy, resilience and potential of young people, and recognise the barriers they face.
Space To Breathe
A therapy walk in the bush gives our young people and our canine companions the chance to escape and reconnect with nature.
Let’s Make Some Noise
Help us fill Duke House with hope, healing, connection, and the sound of music - we’re on the hunt for instruments.
Community Helping Community
The Hope Shop has become something truly special - a place where generosity, kindness, and purpose unite to make a difference.
Welcome Barry
We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Barry Shepherd to the YIT team and are honoured to have you on this journey with us.
Animal Therapy
At Duke House, some of our best therapists have four legs ... and a few have feathers! Every animal plays a vital recovery role.
Connection Creativity Hope
Tina and Andrew recently attended the AI in Mental Health Forum, exploring where AI can responsibly support mental health care.
June Working Bee
A very wet working bee… but still so much heart. The rain came down, but so did the effort, the laughter, and determination to keep going.
Whangaparaoa Rotary
A huge shoutout to the legends from Whangaparaoa Rotary who recently rolled up their sleeves at Duke House!
