Our Story

If you’re new here, you might not know much about us. This is our story, starting way back in 2002!

Blessing another fresh start.

We are truly blessed to have some wonderful tenants living in homes provided by Pathway Affordable Housing, a group that’s about to grow! After months of work, PAH's most recent housing development on Pages Rd has been completed. Ahead of the moving trucks rolling in, a special service to bless each of the three, two-bedroom homes took place.

The humble bicycle.

Out of necessity or by choice, the two-wheeled mode of transport is as prevalent on our roads as it's ever been.

Oak Tree to the city of Sails!

At Oak Tree Devanning we’re buzzing about the City of Sails for a different reason – our long-awaited return!

Devanning in style!

Investing in our people is a great way of showing our appreciation for what they do every day. As a social enterprise Oak Tree Devanning knows that better than most, so recently invested in some new uniforms for its hard-working staff.

Pathway Proud.

Pathway Charitable Group was nominated as a finalist for Community of the Year at the 2023 Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards.

Recruiting with billboards.

Oak Tree Devanning is shaking things up with their latest recruitment drive. Rather than the usual online job postings, the company has taken a more innovative approach.

From containers to coffee.

Whether it’s unloading containers or loading up diner’s plates, Mike knows how to keep his customers happy. Mike joined Oak Tree Devanning in April last year, doing a few mornings a week. He was keen to work as part of a team in different environments – but Mike had a clear goal in mind.

Thinking outside the shipping container!

We're supporting people to make a fresh start through clever and imaginative ways - from inside a shipping container!

Opportunities abound.

For various reasons, James was not in a position to work full time, but he was a hard worker who was ready and willing to get back into the workforce and it was Oak Tree that supported him to get there.
