Take 10 Auckland


Kia ora Auckland!
We are so excited to be expanding into Auckland with a 10 week pilot supported by Auckland Council, starting on the 18th of July.
In Auckland, Take10 will be providing the same great services that make it such a relied upon safe-zone in Central Wellington, games, phone charging, water, transport advice, first-aid medical support, friendly trained volunteers who love to kōrero with anyone who visits, and acting as a safe spot for people to relax, take a break or come to if they are lost or become separated from the people they are with.
We’ll be set up outside Ellen Melville Centre, every weekend over the 10-week pilot from 10:00pm to 3:00am, Friday and Saturday night.
Taking our mahi into a new city and being able to meet, and support a whole new group of people is something we are so looking forward too.
If you are on a night out drop by and say Kia ora, we would love to meet you!
What makes us different?
- Preventative – we catch people before they become victims by stopping them from becoming isolated and helping to reconnect people
- Approach-able – people are often more willing to come to us than the police or emergency services
- Safe – we give people a safe place to go - where they can charge their phones, take a break, sober up, have a chat, get medical support, and get help to get home safely
How it works
We aim to:
- prevent harm
- offer a safe & trusted space
- provide friendly & welcoming support
We keep our "safe zone" welcoming and non-judgmental by:
- always using positive language
- greeting visitors with a smile, water, and lollies
- providing a private space for those who need more attention
Want to help?
We’re looking for volunteers to come out on Friday and Saturday nights, hand out water, talk to people, and make the Take 10 area an inviting place to be. Interested? Get in touch!
We are also always on the lookout for medics and registered youth workers to join us and help make a difference.
