Inclusion starts with understanding and grows through the things we do every day.

Listening to someone’s experience. Asking what helps them learn. Making space for a different way of doing things. These small actions can help neurodivergent young people feel they belong.

At Pivotal Point, we’re passionate about turning awareness into meaningful support for young people and the people around them.

If this matters to you too, we’d love your support in the Spirit of the Wakatipu People’s Choice Award.

This recognition means so much to us. Congratulations to all the finalists, and thank you to Gibbston Valley, 45South Community Foundation, Queenstown Lakes District Council, Hamish Walker - Walker & Co Realty Queenstown, Mountain Scene and all the other category sponsors.

What a month it has been. 💙

We’ve celebrated five years of Pivotal Point and been overwhelmed by the support shown through Give Us 5.

So, where to from here?

Strengthening our free Navigation Service will be at the heart of Pivotal Point’s next chapter—helping more whānau understand their options, navigate complex systems and connect with appropriate support.

In the year ahead, we will also continue our Whakatipu-based screening programme, provide neuroaffirming professional learning and resources for educators, and work to reduce financial barriers to essential support.

Our goal isn’t simply to become bigger. It is to build trusted, sustainable support that helps more neurodivergent tamariki and whānau thrive—regardless of income or postcode.

Our community helped make our first five years possible. Give Us 5 can help us build what comes next:

💙 Give $5
💙 Share our story with five people
💙 Take five minutes to talk about neurodiversity
