We gave them an inch and they created an Empire
- In 2017 we started a community youth program called the Heartivists. We won the Wellington regional Health and Wellbeing awards for that program which got us funding to work in South Auckland.
- The kids in our Rewa Heartivists program helped us CoDesign Click Happy.
- The Click Happy students then Co designed Create Happy Magazine with a 13 year old editor and a handful of keen writers they started and created their first magazine with support from our trust.
- Fast forward to now and we have 6 full sized editions in our collection, a volunteer creative team of over 30 content creators and we have won awards.
- Girl Boss Innovation Award presented by Spark in 2023
- The Arts and Culture Award from Wellington Community Awards - Upper Hutt.
- The plan for the year coming is to get the magazine printed and on shelves and to start a podcast.
- We also run a thriving online community where the students support each other and cheer each other on from around the country.
- On Mondays at 8pm we run a wellbeing program to start the week off right called Creative Grit where we run through seven week cycle of wellbeing skills.
