I am pleased to announce that our Prior, Her excellency, The Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy GNZM QSO DStJ , on the recommendation of Priory Chapter, has awarded Four Winds Foundation a ‘Priory Vote of Thanks’ to recognise the exceptional contribution that the Foundation has made to the work of St John.

Four Winds was proud to support North Harbour Community Patrol - a group of volunteers who work on the North Shore to reduce crime and build safer communities.

“We are so grateful to receive your help to keep our cars on the road as our volunteers help the police to keep our community safe.”

Four Winds proudly supports the APO community and educational programmes through APO Connecting:   “What the APO mentoring programme has done for us is given us a bridge to new skills. The mentors that have come into our school have worked with our teachers and students alike, built confidence and shared knowledge.  We would never be able to afford to do something like this without the APO mentoring programme. We have already seen results in the progress of our students.”

"The Royal New Zealand Ballet is extremely grateful for the invaluable support of Four Winds Foundation which has continued to support some of our ground-breaking initiatives in the accessibility sector, including: dance workshops in prisons; audio described performances and ‘Touch Tours’ for vision impaired people and the provision of free bus transport for low decile schools to attend RNZB performances for schools. Thousands of children have benefited along with people from marginalised sectors of the community. Together, we are achieving our common goal to reach more communities and enrich people’s lives through high quality experiences that add cultural value, enhance wellbeing and respond to the needs of more New Zealanders.”
