 The Depot Trust has just launched a new development programme named "Bliss" for girls aged 13 to 25 years. Bliss is run by one of our volunteer youth workers, Jamie Myers, who is supported and supervised by our senior youth worker, Jodee Millman. Jamie has been doing a fantastic job at organising events, securing event funding, and in facilitating the group for the girls involved. At this stage the group is running with about 15 girls, whom have been a good number to launch the new programme. We have already witnessed strong interest from several new girls (in the early stages of formulating the group) with the excitement of conducting our first Bliss event.
Bliss is focusing on the need to provide positive role models for young ladies in the Nelson area. And seeks to facilitate this through dynamic events, including fashion evenings, seminars on beauty treatments and by building positive friendships and encouraging positive peer pressure, through positive role modelling. With some shocking statistics of teenage pregnancy, delinquency and crime amongst girls in this age group, we see Bliss as a needed push in the right direction. We are excited to see this programme develop and we look with expectation to see many young ladies lives benefited through involvement with the Bliss programme. At this stage Bliss will be running on a monthly basis with one fundraising event and one activity event run each month.

 On behalf of everyone here at The Depot Trust, I would like to thank all of our volunteers, sponsors and staff for making this past year one to remember!
It has been an action packed year to say the least, with our Te Ora Ake programmes developing well under Kerri's very capable hand. Both the after school and holiday programmes have had to be multiplied into two age groups, just to cope with the swelling numbers of enrolment. And seeing the smiles on all the young faces attending the programmes is testament to the success of the staff and volunteers in producing such an amazingly great line up for the children involved. The past year has also seen our reach into the community increased through our various endeavours, which has been a real pleasure serving the community through what we offer as a trust. This coming year we will be pursuing some exciting opportunities to produce and provide increased assistance, education and help to young people in our local community. And I know that with your support and dedication we can truly make an impact that will benefit them for a lifetime. Once again thank you for helping to make this year the huge success it has been. Together we can forge a future that is bigger, better and brighter for our neighbourhoods, our city, our province and our nation! Kind Regards, Martin Daly (Chairman) |
