Pathway Proud.

As you may be aware, Pathway Charitable Group was nominated as a finalist for Community of the Year at the recent Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards. We were nominated alongside Waitakere Charitable Trust and thoroughly deserved category winner the Kindness Collective Foundation.

Reintegration manager Anaru Baynes represented Pathway at the black-tie awards dinner in Auckland in late March. It was a great opportunity for Anaru to share with some pretty heavy-hitters all of the great things Pathway does in the reintegration space, while at the same time raising awareness about our various endeavours. Such recognition at a national level was amazing and reinforces the importance of what we do every day.

While being nominated for awards is fantastic and genuinely humbling, it’s not the be all and end all for us. Our why is helping people make a fresh start and creating safer, stronger communities by reducing recidivism rates. To us, there is no greater reward than seeing that through.

A huge thank you must go to Anaru for flying the Pathway flag with such pride at the awards, and, of course, to all of our donors, supporters, volunteers and everyone else that’s part of the Pathway family. Without you, our life-changing work simply wouldn’t be possible.
