Celebrating our PHO practices 👏
Last Friday, we came together in Manukau for The Cause Collective’s annual PHO Awards, recognising the achievements of practices and people across our network.

This year, practices were recognised for strong results across childhood immunisation, cervical screening, smoking cessation support, diabetes reviews and cardiovascular risk assessments, with many meeting or exceeding national health targets.

We were also pleased to welcome Minister of Health Simeon Brown and other guests to celebrate alongside our practice teams.

Congratulations to all our award recipients and thank you to the teams across our PHO network for the work you do every day to support the health and wellbeing of our communities. 💙

Last week, our Grass Roots Tech cohort spent the day at PwC New Zealand, discovering what a career in technology could look like.

Grass Roots Tech is part of the South Auckland Creative & Tech Hub an initiative of The Cause Collective that gives young people opportunities to explore creative and technology careers.

For our young people to take their next steps with confidence, they need to see themselves, and people like them, succeeding in these spaces. Days like this help make those possibilities feel real.

Seeing the workplace. Meeting the people. Asking questions. Imagining themselves there.

“The visit to PwC, hosted by its Pacific Village and led by Simoli, really opened the minds of our young people. They were asking questions and beginning to visualise themselves working in organisations like PwC. We are grateful to partners such as PwC for opening their doors, giving their time, and encouraging our young people to think differently about what is possible.”
– Brotha D

Our cohort left feeling inspired, encouraged and excited to explore technology as a genuine career pathway.

Fa’afetai tele lava to Simoli and the entire PwC Pacific Village team for welcoming us, sharing your experiences and backing our young people. 🙏

Our 10th anniversary celebration would not be complete without hearing from the people at the heart of our work.

We were not able to share this special video during yesterday’s celebration due to time constraints, but we are proud to share it with you now.

Thank you to everyone who contributed a message and to the communities, families, partners and supporters who have shaped The Cause Collective over the past 10 years.

Your trust, voices and experiences continue to guide our journey.

This generation will win the next generation.

Today, The Cause Collective celebrated 10 years!

More than 160 stakeholders, partners and community members joined us at the Due Drop Events Centre to celebrate this special milestone.

Thank you to everyone who came along and to all those who have been part of our journey since 2016. Your trust, knowledge, leadership and support have helped shape The Cause Collective and made the past 10 years possible. ❤️

As we begin our next chapter, our purpose is to create the conditions for communities to thrive across generations.

The first 10 years were about laying the foundations. The next 10 years are about connecting what we have built and creating lasting change together.

“This generation will win the next generation.”

Mālō e lelei! 🇹🇴
Tonga Language Week is a good moment to shine a light on Nga Vaka o Kāiga Tapu, one of our initiatives that trains people who work with Pacific families to do it in a more culturally grounded way.

"Understanding family roles has helped me think differently about how I approach conversations with Tongan families." — a practitioner who completed the training.

That reflection comes from Fofola e Fala Kae Talanoa e Kāinga, the Tongan cultural framework training within our Level 6 Micro-credential.

If you work with Tongan families and want to feel more confident having those conversations, this is worth a look.
