Capability support for Auckland and Northland enterprises
Thanks to Foundation North, we’re working with social enterprises that create social inclusion – to help them solve the challenges they face.
Are you from a social enterprise or impact-led business in Auckland or Northland?
Are you focussed on increasing social inclusion?
We are looking for enterprises facing challenges or obstacles that need to be resolved so that they can grow as a sustainable business.
Is it hard to explain to others how you create positive impact? Do you want to create even more positive impact?
If so, we may be able to support you to take action, plan your next steps or connect with others who can support your enterprise journey.

What’s social inclusion?
Social inclusion might mean creating employment, supporting more inclusive and diverse communities, or some other way of creating positive change with people that face barriers or are commonly excluded. Some examples of social inclusion include:
Supporting disadvantaged groups to enter the workforce or have skills training
Creating accessible spaces online and in cities
Supporting communities like the rainbow community, people with disabilities, Māori and Pacific people, or people in poverty
Here are some examples of organisations who are creating a more inclusive Aotearoa:
Will & Able
Will and Able employs people with disabilities to create eco-friendly cleaning products, packaged in 100% recycled packaging.
Crescendo Trust
Crescendo create opportunities that enable rangatahi to engage with and connect to people working in the creative industries.This leads to skill development and employment opportunities for young people.
BBM
BBM Motivation takes an inclusive approach to supporting people to lead healthier lives. Their mission is to reduce obesity statistics of Māori and Pacific people. They do this through online programmes and free community bootcamps.
