Support for Community Groups and Organisations

Are you planning a sports event or a small festival but not sure where to start? Then Kia Rite Hoea is for you!

Kia Rite Hoea (previously Get Set Go!) is your one-stop-shop resource and training package to running a safe and successful community event or programme.

We are running a Kia Rite Hoea workshop to give you tools that are user-friendly and ready to use immediately. Including 27 templates and 55 pages of jam-packed guidance, checklists, hot-tips, and case studies, these resources will save you many hours of research and indecision.

Dream it. Plan it. Run it. Review it.

Here's what we'll cover during the workshop:

  • Dream it - You have a great idea, what to do next, who else might be interested, setting objectives.
  • Plan it - Resources, funding, budgeting, organising team, volunteers, venues, admin, accessibility and inclusion, sustainability and waste management, health and safety, promotions evaluations.
  • Run it - On the day checklists, trouble shooting, recording.
  • Review it - Feedback, reflection, reporting.

Limited spots available – Registration is essential. $35 per person.

Please note this workshop is for organisers delivering community focused (non commercial) events. This may include fundraising activities, if the funds raised are for a community focused, not for profit project or organisation.

The Workshop will be run over two evenings:

Here’s what people who attended previous workshops thought:

"We found the workshops very useful as we worked through the process of setting up a new charitable trust. We’ve previously been involved in community organisations but at each workshop we learned new things or easier ways of doing things." - Rhonda and Ronel, Waiora Links Community Trust.

"On Track highlighted a number of things we could improve on including our social media profile and the programme was a great help." - Ian, The Person to Person Help Trust.

“I am pleased to see you are running On Track again. Having attended the last time, I think they were very interesting and contained a wealth of information and sound practical advice for volunteers running community groups and clubs.”  - David Gambold. Secretary, Ashley RFC.

“I highly recommend this course for those involved in the voluntary sector. As members of the governing board of a relatively new Trust, we found it very useful. It gave us tools to set up governance, financial and administrative structures. It was a great opportunity to meet managers, staff and volunteers, and learn from their experiences”  - Judith, Waimakariri Biodiversity Trust.

“For me, one of the most important takeaways from the On-Track seminars is the fantastic opportunity to learn and interact with other community leaders.”  - Padi Nistala GLOW Global Locals of Waimakariri/Timebank Waimakariri.
