Annual Report 2013
Who We AreOur work is driven by a belief that all Kiwis should
have the chance to lead happy, healthy lives.
As well as giving money to worthwhile causes, we
support organisations and groups by providing
advice, expertise, professional services and networking
opportunities to enable people to work collaboratively for
the greater good.
The Foundation gives an average of NZ$8 – 9 million
each year through six Programme Areas: Supporting
Families and Social Services, Caring for our Environment,
Encouraging Employment and Enterprise, Strengthening
the Community Sector, Promoting Generosity and
Giving and Special Funds (e.g. Canterbury Earthquakes
Recovery).
To find out more about us, please visit our website:
www.tindall.org.nz.
The Tindall Foundation is a private family foundation
that makes donations and provides other help to
charitable organisations and communities throughout
Aotearoa New Zealand. The Warehouse Group Ltd
Founder, Stephen Tindall, and his wife, Margaret,
established the Foundation in 1994.
We are helping to build a stronger, sustainable Aotearoa
New Zealand so that families, communities and our
environment thrive now and in the future.
We want to see society grow and prosper so our
childrens’ children will have the very best chance in life.
As a family and as a foundation, we feel very fortunate to
be in a position that enables us to share with others.
From small one-off donations to significant funding for
longer-term initiatives, we are committed to providing
adequate resources for not-for-profit groups.
In two of Christchurch’s community gardens, volunteers
grow fresh produce for their families and develop
long-lasting friendships, whilst rebuilding their lives
following the Canterbury earthquakes.
It never ceases to amaze us how many fantastic and
dedicated people are working within non-profit
organisations. Aotearoa New Zealand would be very
different without them. Thanks to our fellow Trustees for
their most valuable and thoughtful contributions over
the year, for which they receive no fees.
From this report, we hope you get a flavour of what
we’re about at The Tindall Foundation, and learn about
some of the projects we are proud to support.

Founders –– The Tindall Foundation
This has been a very eventful year for The Tindall
Foundation. We’ve supported many successful and
varied projects throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Just
some of these amazing success stories are featured in this
Annual Report.
It’s also been a year of change. We’ve been through a
complete overhaul and upgrade of our database and
website. Both projects took a lot of staff time and energy,
but have resulted in fantastic new systems.
We’ve seen young people getting their hands dirty
planting 3500 native trees as part of the Biota Nodes
Project, which aims to restore 12,550 square metres
of Tuhaitara Coastal Park, north of Christchurch. The
youngsters are really showing the adults how it’s done!
Sixty-nine NEET (Not in Employment, Education
or Training) young people secured jobs through
connections with local employers in the first six months
of Youth Connections Across Auckland, a much-needed
partnership project that will help many more into
meaningful employment.

Committees in Northland, Tairawhiti/Gisborne and
Taranaki also make recommendations to our Trustees.
Funding Managers form an essential link between
The Tindall Foundation and the groups we support.
They play an integral role in making decisions
about donations on our behalf so that smaller
organisations and projects have the means to
support communities and restore our environment.
They give donations on our behalf in two programme
areas – Supporting Families & Social Services, and
Caring for our Environment. We are yet to find
another philanthropic organisation here or overseas
who have adopted this approach to funding.
“We have very high trust relationships with our
Funding Managers, relying on them to use their
local knowledge to distribute our funds within their
communities,” said Evelyn Gauntlett, The Tindall
Foundation’s Systems and Relationships Manager.
Introduced in 1997, the system directs bulk funds
to 18 Funding Managers that are engaged on

The Tindall Foundation Annual Report 20134
After the February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake,
New Brighton Community Gardens and Sydenham-
based Christchurch South Community Gardens
found increased demand from residents for both
food and social support.
“We opened temporarily on Saturdays after the
quakes,” remembered Cathy Sweet, Business
Manager of New Brighton Community Gardens
(NBCG). “So many people wanted company and
a positive activity.”
Interacting with others is a key attraction for the
gardeners. For Graeme Dickey, a volunteer at NBCG,
“It’s about meeting more locals and making good
friends. And I’m learning much more about
gardening and growing fruit trees.”
The Tindall Foundation backed both of these
community gardens as part of our strategy to support
and improve the resilience of those who were affected
by the Canterbury Earthquakes.

Youth Connections Across AucklandMalaea Misa gained her entry into the hospitality industry with the Hotel Novotel Auckland Airport thanks to Youth Connections
Ieremia Neva secured a job at Manta Marine
through YCAA. He said: “I have a full-time job and
am starting a steel fabrication apprenticeship. I
would probably still be at home mucking around if
it wasn’t for this programme.”
Youth Connections Across Auckland (YCAA) is a
highly successful initiative to guide school leavers
into a future of work or study. Auckland Council
runs the programme with support from Hugh Green
Foundation, Auckland Airport Community Trust and
The Tindall Foundation.
With 34,000 young Aucklanders not in education,
employment or training (NEET) as of March 2013
– an increase from 26,000 in June 2012 – the issue
is pressing. Youth Connections brokers work to
link young people with local employers, agencies,
schools and tertiary education providers.
“The programme is a godsend,” commented Ron
Brightmore, Careers Advisor at Mount Roskill Grammar
School. Dale Williams, Mayor of Otorohanga and
Chairman of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs, described
YCAA as “a powerful movement designed to deliver
the greatest collaboration of local employers, young
people and communities in Auckland’s history.”

Putting a modern spin on reading, The Kindle Book
Reading Club is inspiring a love of books among
young people in Waiau. This small North
Canterbury settlement lacks the range of after-school
learning opportunities found in larger centres, so
local flower grower Marina Shearer formed the club
in response.
The club purchases Kindle e-readers that members
aged 12 to 16 can use to read selected books. Over a
12-month period the participants write book reviews
and reports, as well as attending fortnightly ‘book
club’ discussions. On completion, they get to keep
their Kindle.
“The incentive to own your own Kindle has been
great,” said Marina, the club’s Manager. “In October
2013 our first group of Kindle owners emerged from
the book club.”
Marina saw reading as the avenue for rural youth
to view the world through different eyes, broaden

year’s course and to earn a Kindle.

Maile Young, a mother of three, said MPH has changed
her life. “It has made me a confident person and I feel
I can take on any challenge that comes my way.”
The challenge of being a parent and supporting a
family is what inspired Linda Biggs to establish the
Manurewa Parenting Hub (MPH) in 2008. It started
as a personal vision to help other parents, but in just
a few years MPH has achieved much more.
“Parents talk about being more connected and less
lonely, more confident about their role as parents
and being involved with their child’s school, and
generally more positive about life,” said Linda, now
Manager of MPH.
MPH is housed in six schools in Manurewa, with a
staff of eight (six of them local residents). Its main
focuses are positive parenting, healthy family
relationships and encouraging parental involvement
in children’s education.
The Hub also offers help with work opportunities and
its Return to the Workforce programme has guided
30 parents into employment as teacher aides. From
July 2012 to June 2013 MPH delivered programmes

giving them access to the vital skills they need to help
their children in these early years.

Age Concern HorowhenuaIsolation within a community increases the risks of abuse and neglect for older people
The Tindall Foundation hopes to support and enhance
the lives of the most disadvantaged people in our
communities. This project is improving the prospects
of older people by connecting with those who are
vulnerable, then empowering and supporting them.
A growing population of over-65s is creating an
increased need for support around issues such as
elder abuse. Age Concern is at the forefront of New
Zealand’s response, with its nationwide advocacy for
the rights and wellbeing of older people.
“Our vision is to provide an inclusive society, where
older people, koroua and kuia are respected, valued,
supported and empowered,” said Anna Auty, Social
Worker for Levin-based Age Concern Horowhenua.
In Horowhenua, the Age Concern office provides services,
information and advocacy for some 700 older people,
plus their families, carers and allied professionals.
United Way, The Tindall Foundation’s Funding Manager
in the region, recognised its need for more resources.
“All of this work in Horowhenua is done by a staff of
2, with 18 volunteers,” explained Greg Thorburn, a
volunteer at United Way in Manawatu. “At the time of
their evaluation, Age Concern Horowhenua was
dealing with 56 cases of elder abuse.”

week, which Anna welcomed. “The increasing need in
the community for our services had become difficult to
manage without having the Manager working longer
hours,” she said.

Taranaki Adult Literacy ServicesUnderstanding traffic signs and completing application forms are some of the core literacy skills imparted by volunteer staff like Tutor Dory Williams
TALS’ work helps with skills like budgeting, because
there is a link between lack of numeracy skills and
poor financial decisions. Students are given
confidential, one-to-one tuition using a range of
resources that can prove to be life changing.
“Whilst most New Zealanders are comfortable with
their literacy skills, a large number are not,” observed
Taranaki Adult Literacy Services (TALS) Chairperson
Tony Pugh. “With our input and support, these
people can enjoy a positive change in their social,
work and recreational lives.”
TALS’ mission is to provide quality adult literacy and
learning assistance to adults throughout Taranaki at
no cost to the learner. During the period from 2009
to 2012 the service helped over 400 people across the
province to gain literacy and numeracy skills, a quest
that has proved invaluable in the job market and
everyday life.
Michael, a 60-year-old student, recalled: “I was a bit
slow at school and got pushed through the system
without really having my issues dealt with. I missed
out on so much. I now find it a big achievement to
text, to read the newspaper and to do my work so
much better.”

Good Ideas, a series of lunchtime workshops
targeting community and voluntary organisations
across Auckland.
North Shore Community and Social Services
(NSCSS) devised Five Good Ideas after recognising
demand in the community for professional
development workshops at an affordable price.
“Issues like governance, media management,
strategic planning and capacity building are areas
of high need for many, particularly smaller,
community agencies,” noted Ruth Greenaway,
Training and Communications Coordinator.
Through monthly two-hour workshops, Five Good
Ideas addresses that need, at an affordable $20 per
participant including lunch and resources. The series
reaches over 300 people a year.

Sadly, there is little coastal forest remaining on

Coastal Park is helping to restore the balance.
Te Kohaka o Tuhaitara Trust aims to re-create the
native environment in this 575-hectare park north of
Christchurch, between the Waimakariri River mouth
and Waikuku.
Biota nodes are a key tool. Greg Byrnes, Park
Manager, described them as a series of fenced areas
around waterholes, up to 300 metres apart. So far
the park has 9 nodes covering 12,550 square metres,
planted with over 3500 native plants, which will
gradually create a biodiversity skeleton for restoring
forest, sand dunes and freshwater lagoons.
The programme “has been very successful at
engaging not only local schools, but also other
groups and businesses, to adopt nodes,” commented
Jenny Lynch, WWF Community Conservation
Coordinator.

At The Tindall Foundation, we aim to improve the
wellbeing and resilience of communities. This project,
Rev. Charles (Huri Huri) Noanoa has literally made
the Taita Pomare Mission Project his mission in life.
This multi-stranded community programme, based
at St Matthews Anglican Church in Taita, Lower
Hutt, incorporates a range of programmes. The
mission supports prisoner re-integration, youth
justice, a food bank, community gardens, ‘kai nights’
and the Tumeke Taita touch rugby team.
The outcomes are many and varied: from making
a positive impact for families struggling to put food
on the table, to supporting prisoners released from
Rimutaka Prison, including preventing them from
re-offending.
Rev. Noanoa has worked intensively to help a dozen
former inmates with housing, employment and faith
support. The project is proving its worth: since 2009,
the majority of participants have stayed out of prison.
That is a life-changer for men like Tonto Tuhoe, who
