ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
The lead facilitator for this programme is Sandy Thompson from LEAD (www.lead.org.nz). A belief in the power of strong communities has led Sandy to pursue a career as a trainer, consultant and coach in the community and not for profit sector. She has been working and volunteering in the Not for Profit Sector since she was a volunteer youth leader in Whangarei in the 1970’s. Prior to becoming part of LEAD, Sandy was one of the team delivering the Unitec Graduate Diploma in Not for Profit Management, a role she took on after 10 years as the founding leader of the National Association for OSCAR.
Sandy’s experience as a leader in the not for profit sector, and her experience facilitating and mentoring other leaders, has led to her work providing values-based management and leadership support, organisation development based on strengths-based approaches (including appreciative inquiry), and the training of community facilitators and trainers.
Sandy works with boards and leaders from a wide range of organisations, both large and small, including those from the social services, faith-based, environment, arts, and migrant sectors. Knowing well the answer to every question is “it depends”, she helps leaders and boards to navigate through the complexity that is community leadership. Sandy has extensive experience working in the Pacific Islands and has a depth of experience working in cross cultural environments; and teaching others how to succeed when leading in cross cultural contexts.
Sandy’s current core voluntary roles are as a Trustee for ChildAlert an organisation that fights commercial sexual exploitation of children, and she is also the Pacific representative on ECPAT International who do the same work at an international level. Sandy is also co-chair of the Trust
Board of Hui E! – New Zealand’s national organisation promoting, strengthening and connecting the Community Sector

After three years, Emma was adopted by a New Zealand family and brought here for a new life - but that didn’t work out how it was supposed to. Emma was diagnosed with foetal alcohol syndrome and reactive attachment disorder. Parenting her became a nightmare, and it ended in tragedy.

Emma has faced more challenges and rejections than most people could cope with. And now, she wants to take on the biggest challenge of her life - finding answers to those most fundamental questions: who am I? Where did I come from?

Aucklanders will get the chance to see firsthand the giant tunnel boring machine which will complete construction of the two City Rail Link tunnels.

Auckland’s “Boring Day Out” will be held at the project's Mt Eden construction site on December 6.

People will be able to see up close the machine named Dame Whina Cooper after the Māori rights activist.

They will also view where the machine starts its underground journey next year, from Mount Eden to the new Karangahape underground station, then to the Aotea station in central Auckland.

“This will be a rare opportunity to see the star of New Zealand’s biggest-ever transport infrastructure project before it disappears underground,” said Francois Dudouit, Project Director for the Link Alliance.

Details about where people can get tickets on-line will be announced next week.

Ten visiting sessions will be held, with the first entry at 9 am and the last at 6 pm.

Visitor numbers will be restricted to 500 for each session.

Tickets are free and people can book up to five tickets per person.

People with wheelchairs, mobility scooters, prams/pushchairs and walking sticks are welcome.

Entry to the Mt Eden site will be via Ngahura Street near New North Road.

The walk is 600 metres long and the ground is flat but there are some uneven surfaces.

One of the best things about working for homed is all the inspiring people I get to chat to. One of my favs, and the most inspiring was Tracey Hemingway, who as The Debt Free Diva offers advice and guidance on getting your finances under control and working for you.
She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.
