Leigh Keown: Vulnerable Support Charitable Trust Operations Manager on the Take 10 initiative pilot in Auckland
Manage episode 495073910 series 3391555
A late night safe zone has found success in Wellington, and is being brought to Auckland.
For the past eight years, Take 10, an initiative run by Vulnerable Support Charitable Trust (VSCT), has been offering a late-night safe zone on Wellington’s Courtenay Place.
Now, with the support of Auckland Council, the volunteer-run initiative is launching a 10 week pilot in Auckland’s city centre.
Operations Manager Leigh Keown told Kerre Woodham that they get a lot of students and young people on their night out, but it’s for anyone who wants to have a break, get a glass of water, or charge their phone.
She says everyone is welcome, and rather than walk around the streets, not knowing what to do, people can come to them for shelter.
