Chairperson’s Report
Kia ora and warm greetings to everyone.
I am very pleased to once again present our Trust’s Annual Report of our activity over the
last financial year, 2014 -2015
Last year I said that there had been a lot of changes and signals of impending changes, I
never for a minute thought that these changes would be on going and still happening, but
that is what the current position within the disability sector is.
Our main funder the Ministry of Social Development did at the beginning of the new year call
meetings nationally to advise all the organisations working to their contracts of what these
changes were going to be. Unfortunately for MSD, but very fortunate for us and all of the
other trusts like us, the sector united and told MSD that they were not happy at all with the
proposed changes and modifications. MSD agreed to go back to their drawing board and
have further talks with the sector. This is happening now. So at the end of our financial year
30 June 2014 we had our contract rolled over for another year only, which everyone thought
would be enough time for the new situation to be agreed to and implemented.
I accompanied our CEO to the first of the briefings that MSD held in Wellington titled
Engagement on Proposed Changes to Vocational Services, on Friday 20 March. It was
limited to two people per organisation. MSD’s recommendation was that both management
and governance representation be there. It was important that both arms of our trust went
along to show MSD that we were of the same mind.
In August 2014 we ran our first street appeal and we realised why more and more agencies
are no longer engaged in this way of raising funds. The weather was not good and many
people do not carry the cash that used to fuel successful street appeals of the past. We are
no longer going to do this on an annual basis.
Last year I also advised that we were looking at mergers, acquisitions, partnerships,
collaborations, and joint projects. I said that we, as a board, needed to be looking outside
the square so that we were not by being isolated and that we could still deliver our services
to those with intellectual disability within the Hutt Valley. We have seen recently two such
mergers and acquisitions within our sector in the form of Q’nique now being part of the South
Island based PACT and Dawn Trust now part of the MASH Trust.
We as a governance board have been talking with other larger and some smaller trusts to
see how we might work together in a similar fashion. Some of these talks have proceeded
to the point of each party doing Due Diligence on each other but for a number of reasons on
both sides have not progressed past this.
I do need to advise that we still see the future of HVDRT as one that is different from that in
which we are operating today. We will continue to engage with others in our sector, and
outside our sector who have similar values and interests to see what synergies there may be
for us, all the time having at our forefront the reason HVDRT was formed in 1981.
The centre itself has had some major issues to contend with over this past year and our
CEO will deal with these in more detail. I must just reflect on the Regional Public Health TB
scare that we had in September 2014. The risk management system that was operating and
that we had as part of our operational manual really came into its own and we were in fact
praised by the Regional Public Health team for our ability to respond to this scare in such a
well-managed, user friendly and professional way. Congratulations to all the staff for their
efforts in this regard.
2015 Annual Report

This year in March we had our second TriAbility event,(a separate article on this is in the
report) and back in October 2014 Charlie Holland presented at the Health and Wellbeing in
Children, Youth and Adults with Developmental Disabilities Conference in Canada. Charlie
Holland collected a prize for her poster presentation on Triability.
As many of you may know the Government is making some major changes to the Health
and Safety Legislation and as a board of governance we at HVDRT need to take on board
some of these changes as they will affect us individually as members and collectively as a
board. In March Keith Flavell represented the board along with our CEO at a briefing on the
changes that were going to be made and how this would impact on us. As a result of this
impending legislation (due in April 2016) the board has now, as part of its standing orders,
requested that we are presented with a separate Health and Safety Report as each of our
monthly board meetings, and that we have one of our members, Keith Flavell, designated
with this portfolio.
We have re-printed our strategic plan 2014-2020 in this report with an indication on those
milestones that we were able to succeed in accomplishing this year.
Financially we have finished the year with a $16,000 deficit which was under budget and in
line with our next financial year being either a break even or surplus budget. We are very
comfortable that once again our auditors have had no issues with our accounting practice
and financial procedures.
This year has been a difficult one to give small trusts like ours some certainty around the
future and equally those clients and their families/whānau that our staff deliver services to
have not had the stability of knowing that their funding has been protected. Throughout the
year the board has meet every month to look at wider issues and try and make some sense
of all of the discussion documents and other communication that has continued to come out
into the sector; MSD discussion documents, the Productivity Commission consultation
documents and results, the Enabling Good Lives pilots, the new service specifications for
community participation and employment, the changes to reporting against strategic and
business plan by the Charities Commission are but a few of these documents.
I wish to thank all of my fellow board members for their dedication and industry knowledge.
My deputy chairperson, Nick Ruane, Marlene Wilkinson, Keith Flavell, Lolesio Kalolo and
Elias Rice our client representatives. I also wish to thank Lillian Hetet who resigned from our
board during the year, for her invaluable contribution.
I finally want to thank Susan Gray for another great year and to all her staff who have
managed a raft of change without taking their eye of the ball and continuing to commit to the
superior service to clients. During the year we have some new faces and I welcome you all
to the HVDRT whānau.

Chief Executive’s Report
I have to echo our Chairperson’s observation that last year we talked about all the changes
that were taking place, all the new directions that we were being asked to take and all the
legislation and discussion documents that were waiting for our and the sectors feedback on.
We noted the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the NZ Disability
Action Plan and the Enabling Good Lives project. These plans, conventions and projects
still underpin what we are doing around service delivery for disabled people but have been
added to with the Productivity Commission and their view on disability service provision, the
Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and their new service specifications for employment,
participation and inclusion and the changes that are going to be made to these services.
We have completed the MSD Standards for Approval, a quality assurance process part of
their Investing in Service for Outcomes programme. This sits alongside our contract with
MSD. From March 2014, all providers contracted by MSD were required to have MSD
Approval. MSD Approval is assessed using a 5 tiered Approvals Framework. This
framework ensures there is a consistent quality assurance process in place, no matter which
Ministry service lines a provider is funded by.
All MSD providers are assessed against a set of Standards for Approval and these
standards are designed to ensure people who access services can have confidence in
working with the community organization. The Approval level assigned to providers will
depend on the type of services contracted and the vulnerability of the targeted client group,
we have been assigned to Level 4 MSD Approvals Framework.
In 2014 we ran our first TriAbility triathlon and our second on in March 2015 which is
reported on separately in this report. One of the most positive outcomes from the second
event was the increase in numbers and the continued financial support from MSD because
this event had the potential to change the way people in the community were thinking about
disability. To prove that we did actually get it right, Charlie Holland our Projects Manager
was invited to Canada to present on the TriAbility. The title of her presentation was
TriAbility: Using Indigenous Methodology to Support a Sporting Community Initiative and
Charlie was presented with the prize for Best Information-Based Poster Award.
We had a major health scare at the centre in August and September when the Regional
Public Health unit advised us that one of our clients been hospitalised with tuberculosis. We
then had to work with the team from public health to set up a procedure to ensure that all of
our staff, volunteers and clients are safe, or are able to be treated for TB. We supplied
names, addresses and DOB for all 59 clients who may have come in contact with the client
and all staff and volunteers. We offered counselling for anyone and their families if they were
contaminated. We also identified that if there were any other needs advised we made
provision to minimize the stress around this matter for all concerned.
At the end of last year we held one of our art exhibitions and for the first time we used the
retail opportunity of a Pop Up retail store. The exhibition sold 42 of the 86 pieces exhibited
and raised $1525. It was a great opportunity for us to attract people who were just passing in
High Street and for us to do some informal PR work around promotion of our trust. This was
something that we also did when we operated a stall at Te rā o Te Raukura at Te Whiti Park
in Waiwhetu in February 2015.
During February we again competed as a team in the Cigna Round the Bays fun run, this
year we had a team of 14 clients, parents, staff and board members. In June we had a group
of eight Young Guns engage in the Hutt City Council’s King of the Hill run up Wainuiomata
Hill.
2015 Annual Report

It seems that major weather events are now becoming normal in other parts of the country
but here in Lower Hutt on 14th May we were the centre of an extreme storm. The centre
closed at mid-day to enable clients and staff to get home safely. The centre itself had a few
extra leaks in the centre roof and annex windows, but in the main was able to withstand the
torrential rain and wind. We operated a ferry service to get clients from the centre to the
Westfield bus station (all buses were running within the Hutt Valley but not past Petone and
no trains were running at all). At the end of the day clients who normally would have been
picked up by parents or residential providers were either given lifts home by staff or
alternative arrangements made.
We are not sure whether this storm was the reason for one of our major wooden beams
which holds the ceiling in the former garage at the end of the centre to show signs of stress
and have a fracture in it. We needed to commission a report from a local structural engineer
and even though the engineer’s report found that there was no danger or urgency in
repairing we have made this a priority. The engineers also assessed the rest of the building
in light of this situation and their report back was that there was no other situation needing
attention.
For the first time in eight years we had a complaint lodged against us with the health and
disability commissioner by the mother of a client. Even though the complaint was not upheld
it was a very good exercise to make sure that we were recording the information that we
needed to record around incidents at the centre and that HVDRT had policies and
procedures that were regularly updated and relevant around all aspects of our interaction
with clients. It was also important to ensure that staff not only knew of these policies and
procedures but that they were operating their practice within the framework of these. One
new policy that we did introduce this year was our Drug and Alcohol Policy which fits well
with our No Smoking on site policy.
As can be seen from these few matters we have had a very complex year with lots of things
of major and minor importance happening. We have a new volunteering programme in place
with our clients and this is producing some wonderful changes in many of our clients. They
are taking a pride in the work that they are doing in these roles and some are even
mentoring others to assist them in being able to complete the role of being a HVDRT
volunteer in the community.
Staff have been involved in many training opportunities throughout the year and they
continue to offer the most professional, empathetic and appropriate service that we are able
to. We have had a few key staff changes over the year but our overall staff turnover is less
than the industry norm.
I personally wish to thank Barry Eng, Charlie Holland, Toyah Willcox, Dorothy Wilson, Sina
Irwin, Henry King, Malu Tutogi, Jojo Garcia and Irene Paton staff of HVDRT for being there
first and foremost for our clients and making my job as CEO that much easier because of
their unwavering dedication to the work, vision and future of the trust itself. As with all CEO’s
my role would be a lot harder without the support and encouragement that I continually
receive from Rawiri Evans and his board of trustees, Marlene Wilkinson, Keith Flavell, Lillian
Hetet and Nick Ruane.
Susan Gray.

VOLUNTEERS
For all charities and NGO’s the time, energy and effort given free of charge by
volunteers makes the difference in all organisations, allowing us to do those extras
and sometimes those essential things that add value to the services offered to clients
and service users.
HVDRT is no exception and we would sincerely like to show our appreciation of all
the effort given by people who have helped us provide a service to our disabled
clients that is second to none. Thank you very much for being part of our Trust and
assisting us and our clients with during the year.
We especially need to acknowledge all the assistance given by the dedicated
individuals and groups of volunteers who made our TriAbility such a success for the
second year running.

TRIABILITY 2015
“We started together, we end together.” A moment of mixed emotions as team
members of the two Wainuiomata Kaumatua Group awaited their final member, Awhi
Milner, to complete the run/walk/wheel section of the HVDRT TriAbility Triathlon
(TriAbility) held at Barrs Reserve, before crossing the finish line and receiving their
medals.

The HVDRT TriAbility Triathlon which took place on Saturday 21 March 2015 is an
event that supports people with various degrees of physical, intellectual,
developmental, neurological and sensory abilities, an event run by the Lower Hutt
organisation, the Hutt Valley Disabled Resources Trust (HVDRT).
Event manager, Charlie Holland, was especially pleased with the spectrum of local
participants that entered this year. “We had competitors from Wainuiomata High
School, Hutt City Council, Mayor Ray Wallace, first-time triathletes, multi-sport
enthusiasts and two wonderful teams from Wainuiomata Kaumatua Support Group.
Wainuiomata really showed how pro-active they are towards inclusive communities.”
Positive whānau involvement was also evident on the day with parents, aunts and
uncles volunteering with their young ones as they cheered on the competitors.
Moana Kuma from Wainuiomata completed the cycling section with her baby in a
baby-buggy attached to her bike and ‘Team Whānau Journey’ saw Mum, Dad and
their daughter Saela Solomon challenging themselves by doing the longer of the two
distances, as a family unit.
There were two distances to choose from for first-timers through to the more
experienced triathlete. The Valley Distance consists of a 300m swim, 13km cycle
and a 2.5km run/walk/wheel, whilst the Coast Distance consists of a 700m swim,
20km cycle and a 5km run/walk/wheel.

However one of the highlights had to be the return of Mayor Ray Wallace, supporting
and competing as the cyclist for ‘Team Tri-Again’ with HVDRT CEO Susan Gray and
HVDRT client, Donna Wotton. Mayor Wallace triumphantly crossed the finish line
together with his team to receive his finishers-medal.

TriAbility is supported by the Ministry of Social Development’s ‘Think Differently’
social change campaign. With the success of the 2014 and 2015 events, TriAbility is
set to return in 2016.

For months leading up to the HVDRT TriAbility Triathlon (TriAbility), people
throughout the Hutt Valley and beyond were out on their bikes, swimming laps and
braving the notorious windy conditions of Wellington, in preparation.
Running up the finishers shoot, Lisa Kiernan a HVDRT client and her supporting co-competitor
Wendy were members of Team Top Girls.
TriAbility is not an event just for disabled people, but rather an event for all abilities
and a chance to compete side-by-side as part of a larger social change campaign to
shift attitudes and change behaviours towards disabled people within our
communities.

HVDRT VOLUNTEERING PROGRAMME
The annual bloom in volunteering opportunities has come early this year for HVDRT
clients who have been interacting and giving back to our communities in variety of
roles. Usually the warmer months of summer sees our clients taking part in outdoors
roles like dog-walking, leaflet drops and event marshalling. This year, however, the
cooler and slightly damper days have been ideal for community gardening and
landscaping projects which has seen at least nine of our clients removing weeds,
digging garden beds and transferring mulch at Boulcott School. Many of these
gardening skills were learnt from a four week volunteering project we initially had
with Hutt Intermediate.
The Keen Green Volunteer Team (L-R): Aaron Snowsill, Keith Fuldseth, Paul Leydon and Matthew
Graham helping in the gardens at Boulcott School, Lower Hutt.
All of our volunteering clients have either been police-checked or are in process with
the Ministry of Justice. This detail of our volunteering programmes certainly works in
our favour as preferred candidates when schools are looking for community
assistance.
The Hutt City Council’s ‘Tree Guardian’ scheme has also acknowledged our
dedication and hard work when it came to edible fruit tree planting around Lower
Hutt and have offered to let our volunteer gardeners be the official guardians of the
trees they planted in Stokes Valley. The volunteers’ increasing skills and knowledge
in plant care will be of great value to our own HVDRT Edible Garden Project that is
currently underway.
For those clients who favour warmer surroundings, there has been piano players’
performing at Wellington Hospital every Tuesday afternoon, clients supporting
other volunteer clients in retail at the SPCA Opportunity Shop, food preparation in
Taita’s Great Start community kitchen, and wait staff volunteering at Te Koha Café.
We are also working with IDEA Services in their ‘Friendship Programme’ which
matches our volunteers with disabled adults in the community who would like a
2015 Annual Report

friend to visit weekly. We are currently in discussions with local catteries for our
clients that adore cats, but have restricted mobility. A Kaibosh food rescue branch
that has opened in Lower Hutt is an opportunity we are pursuing, as well as following
up on discussions with the Hutt City Libraries that may see our volunteers possibly
shadowing library staff members to help raise awareness around communicating and
supporting disabled people in our libraries while at the same time having our
volunteers assist in room setups for public meetings.
All of our clients volunteering in the community go through a process of completing
applications, police checks, skill assessments, initial support during trial periods of
four to six weeks. Afterwards we do a debriefing session with the client, their
coordinator and a follow-up discussion with the community group. This process is
longer than previous volunteering methods used, but it reassures community groups
that we are seeking mutual value in the allocated roles and aligning prospects with
individual goal plans. This is a quick look at what our volunteers are doing in the
community, but visit the HVDRT facebook page to see how the community are
volunteering with us.
“It was a real pleasure for me to witness your guys helping us working, clearly
enjoying the garden and the work. They confidently interacted with us and worked
hard and cheerfully!” (Toby Andrews, Zealandia Sanctuary Volunteer, 2015)

HVDRT Second Glance Art Exhibition
For the Hutt Valley Disabled Resources Trust, the HVDRT Second Glance Art
Exhibition (Second Glance) was the fourth exhibition that showcased art work
produced by clients registered with the Trust. Second Glance allowed our
established and aspiring artists to publicly exhibit their work using various types of
creative mediums including drawings, collage, painting, sculpture and scrapbooking.
The exhibition launch was a great way for friends, family and supporters to celebrate
the creative talent of the artists whose skills and talent have been developed and
advanced under the tutorage of established artist Josephine Jowett-Garcia (Jojo)
and fellow tutor, Irene Paton.
The exhibition was a great way for local residents to meet and socially engage with
our disabled artists and by doing this positively attributed towards HVDRT’s values of
shifting attitudes and changing behaviours towards disabled people within our
communities through raising awareness around inclusive activities, fostering
friendships between disabled and non-disabled people.
2015 Annual Report

Art and craft enthusiasts taking part in one of Jojo Garcia’s free community workshops
HVDRT aimed to introduce or reacquaint new and established local artists to those
frequenting Hutt City. The Second Glance exhibition attracted the highest number of
people visiting an HVDRT exhibition, attracting 349 people who came to browse and
buy works. There was an additional 25 people who attended the two free craft
workshops run by Jojo during the exhibition and at least 18 volunteers that help run
the whole show.
HVDRT believes that the Second Glance exhibition raised awareness around
inclusiveness, partly achieved by having the artists talk about their work at the
launch to those who were interested. Many of artists also visited the exhibition whilst
it was showing and happily engaged with members of the public, even the artists
who found verbal communication challenging, were proud to point and acknowledge
their work. The exhibition sold 42 of the 86 pieces exhibited and raised $1525.
