We had the legend Chef Matthew in the kitchen yesterday cooking up a storm for our community!

The majority of the kai we are able to serve at The Front Door comes thanks to our partnership with @sundayblessingsakl and @woolworths_nz who support us to rescue good quality kai and reroute it to our community. Another example of the importance of working in Kotahitanga as a community! Shoutout to the bro for cooking up a feast!

No child or young person should be forced to sleep or beg on our streets. When children experience homelessness they deserve help and support not punishment and enforcement.

Kick Back calls on the Government to Move-On the Move-on orders and instead back solutions that work!

On Friday we said farewell (but not goodbye) to Kelly, who will be transitioning from her role as Youth Development Worker at Kick Back and into an exciting new role with our partners, FASD-CAN. Kelly will be a part of supporting rangatahi to engage in FASD-CAN's programs, events, and to learn more about themselves and be empowered to embrace the super powered awesomeness that is our kids with FASD.

This is such a critical and important role within our community, and we are excited at the opportunity to continue working alongside Kelly and FASD-CAN in support of our rangatahi and to advance the kaupapa of ending and preventing Youth Homelessness.

During Kelly's time with us she has progressed important mahi, helping us strengthen our Early Intervention and Housing Stabilization mahi, advocating for tamariki and supporting our rangatahi to stabilize, stay connected, and get access to the support that they deserve. This has been such important mahi and Kelly's impact here will endure.

This is an exciting and important step in Kelly's career, and we wish Kelly all the best in this next stage of her journey. Please join us in congratulating Kelly, and wishing her all the best.

"My mother did the best she could, but she needed help. Instead she got blamed and antagonized by MSD for doing the best she could. Instead of this Bill, we should introduce Duty2Assist legislation." Kit, rangatira rangatahi

Kit, one of our amazing rangatahi rangatira, presented on the Move On order's today. They spoke powerfully about their concerns about the bill, and sent a clear message, Move On the Move on orders, and back the solutions that work!
