Together we can end homelessness.
We Count, We Matter – And We Vote
More than 100 taumai showed they counted when they voted at DCM during October’s election, with many others voting in their own communities. The polling booth at DCM during election week capped months of activity designed to inform and motivate taumai to have their say – many for the very first time.
Reaching out to the most marginalised – during lock-down
Last year, we invited you to join DCM’s Street Outreach team on a typical day, as they headed out to connect with people who were rough sleeping or street begging on Wellington’s streets. This month, we checked back in with the team, to see how different a “typical day” has been during the COVID-19 lock-down.
Reaching Out to the Most Marginalised
DCM’s Street Outreach team help support Wellington’s most marginalised people. It also gives Wellingtonians a way to make a real difference in the lives of people begging or sleeping rough in the city.
Te Hāpai is just one part of the incredible work DCM gets up to in central Wellington. For those who have been sleeping rough on these cold winter's nights, it's an essential part of their morning routine.
Giving People Their Lives Back
DCM staff member Alan spends his time connecting with taumai on a daily basis, building a rapport of trust, often with the help of a guitar or two. He speaks with us about his work.
