Goldie Oldies & Parkinsons Programme
Every Wednesday at 5.30pm we run a free community goldie oldies and Parkinson class. Parkinson’s boxing classes are non-combat workouts, meaning you won’t be fighting another person. Classes typically include exercises that help you improve hand-eye coordination, agility, speed, endurance, and strength.

We started up a class with a special education group and with great success we are now making more space to have more classes!

We provide a safe space for each individual to come and be themselves and get fit while having fun.

“Wow. I came away from our men's circle this morning full of joy and purpose. Feeling worthy. It's great to be alive. Blessed.”
“Just wanted to say how truly grateful and blessed I am to have and know such a fantastic bunch of brothers!!
The outpouring of aroha, tautoko and whakawhanāungatanga today actually caught me by surprise and brought out a few tears of gratitude.
Thank you for having my back, even though I didn't know I needed it.”
AKONGA ACADEMY - ALTERNATE EDUCATION
We support Alternate Education and mainstream schools, working with youth that don't fit the system. Regardless of the rangatahi's path, appearance or history every single rangatahi is welcome. We pride ourselves on every single person feeling like they belong somewhere.
