This winter highlights the urgent need for safe, warm housing, with a new report confirming rising homelessness. We recently hosted Labour MPs at our Safari programme in West Auckland, offering them a chance to connect directly with migrant and refugee communities. We’re also recruiting new Board members — a meaningful opportunity to help shape our future.

Moving to a new city can be exciting but also challenging. Ahead of International Day of Friendship, we’re highlighting five ways for migrants and newcomers to connect in Auckland — from language classes and sports to markets, volunteering, and support services.

We’re excited to launch our latest PassTheMic podcast series, sharing the real stories of migrants navigating employment in Aotearoa — from overcoming barriers to finding opportunities — and amplifying voices that often go unheard.

We’re looking for passionate individuals to join our Board and help guide a values-driven organisation supporting migrants and former refugees. Bring your governance experience and heart for collective impact!
