GRACE WOOD (15) USED HER TALENTS TO INSTRUCT HER PEERS IN THE PROPER TECHNIQUES AND NECESSARY PRACTICES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN SELF-DEFENSE. THE YOUNG PEOPLE WERE INCREDIBLY IMMERSED AND SEEMED TO REALLY TAKE AWAY A VAST KNOWLEDGE OF SELF-DEFENSE AND IT'S TECHNIQUES. WHAKAATU MAI TO TOI 'SHOW ME YOUR ART' IS A PROGRAMME DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A LOCAL VOLUNTEER AIMED AT REMOVING BARRIERS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO SHOW AN INTEREST IN MAORI PERFORMING ARTS.

PAGE 08 TYC 2020 ANNUAL REPORT KOWHEORI-19 COVID-19 Due to the Corona Virus pandemic this year, finding funding has not been particularly straight forward. For a seemingly endless period of time, the vast majority of funding providers were closed and unsure of any action moving forward. As we regain some normalcy, a number of our targeted providers have begun to re-advertise funding opportunities which are followed up. Thames Youth Centre continues to track potential opportunities and changes to funding models in order to deliver the programs, services and support that young people need. Afternoon gathering attendance is still staggered in level 1 with hopes that the next holiday programme will bring some young people back to the centre after their lockdown experience. We continue to take the proper precautions while hosting people at our venue and ensure there is sanitizer, a sign in qr code and book and being careful to be responsible with social distancing guidelines. RETI HALL HIREAGE WHARE This year has seen the hall hired out to a wide reach of different groups in our community. We continue our relationship with the Hauraki Lifestyle Trust for their monthly discos, Individuals and small groups continue to request TYC for rehearsal spaces (Steampunk The Thames) and creative workshops (Hip Hop Academy, VoiceBox Studios) and it's perfect for performers in need of a performance venue, (Miz Pitch) .
