The Pride Project

The Pride Project is a charitable trust that grew out of the Clendon community. It began in 2017 as the Clendon Pride Project, with $15,000 from the Manurewa Local Board, and has grown into a trust running peer support, programmes and a community base.

Its Hope Navigators are peer-support workers who help whānau with housing advocacy, financial mentoring and essential needs. The Community House at 60 Maplesden Drive runs a tool library and Whare Tautoko, a free op shop run by volunteers with clothing, household goods and blankets. Wai Mangopare, its hub at Shop B9 in the centre, works with rangatahi, including young people at risk of long-term unemployment.
