Please Help Us Build Our Mobile Youth Space

In February 2026, Rangatahi Ora experienced a devastating setback when our trailer was stolen. The trailer was an important part of our work, helping us transport the equipment and resources needed to deliver programmes, wānanga and community activities across Kaipara and Te Tai Tokerau.

Rather than simply replacing what we lost, we have decided to build back bigger.

Our goal is to raise $75,000 to create a purpose-built Rangatahi Ora Mobile Youth Space — a trailer that travels with us and transforms into a safe, welcoming and practical space for rangatahi to connect, learn, create, eat, kōrero and belong.

The new mobile youth space will include a dedicated hangout and learning area, secure equipment storage, solar power and batteries, water and sink facilities, refrigeration, connectivity, seating and tables, gazebos, cooking equipment and everything required to activate the space at wānanga, events and within our communities.

When set up, the trailer will expand into three outdoor spaces — a relaxed hangout area for rangatahi, a cooking and food preparation space, and an additional area for workshops, activities and learning.

Our goal: $75,000

Funds raised will contribute towards:

• $25,000 – Custom enclosed trailer build
• $5,000 – Internal cabinetry and fit-out
• $11,000 – Power, solar, water and appliances
• $10,000 – Three commercial gazebos and walls
• $3,000 – Tables, seating, beanbags and mats
• $1,000 – Storage equipment and supplies
• $1,000 – Starlink and connectivity
• $1,500 – Security and GPS
• $3,000 – Trailer and sponsor branding
• $9,000 – Event flags, kits and bases
• $5,000 – BBQ, event equipment, safety and final setup

Total project: $75,000

Every contribution matters. Whether you can give $10, $50, $100, $500 or more, you are helping us put this mobile youth space on the road and create more opportunities for rangatahi.

Businesses can also support the project by funding it, supplying it or helping us build it through financial sponsorship, donated products, materials, professional services or labour.

This isn’t just about replacing a stolen trailer. It’s about creating something better from what happened — something that can travel throughout Kaipara and Te Tai Tokerau and create welcoming spaces and opportunities for rangatahi wherever we go.

Same kaupapa. Bigger impact.

Thank you for helping us get back on the road. 💚
