CEO Review 2022
Kia ora koutou,
This year has once again been extraordinary as we continued to navigate the pandemic and its complexities, the legislation changes to keep our communities safe, and the global and national workforce shortages for Registered and Enrolled Nurses. In times of challenge, people and communities are capable of remarkable things, and our people have continued to deliver our unique and high-quality services in these challenging times. I am privileged to lead this organisation of more than 300 passionate and committed caregivers.
Saint John of God also lived through extraordinary times, his response to the call provides us with the legacy of our shared values that guide our work. His life offers us a model of how we can support those most vulnerable in society, and his dedication and passion continue to provide us with the motivation to strive to be the very best we can for the people and communities we support.
I continue to be humbled by the trust that our clients and residents place in us. Through our work we aim to walk alongside people towards growth and development. The pandemic has underscored for me the importance of the relationship we foster with the people we support and their whānau, and how those relationships support us to respond to individual need and continually seek to exceed expectations.
The 2021-25 strategic plan is now fully embedded in our operations across the organisation. In the first full year in delivering on the new strategy, and despite the challenges of the pandemic, our collective efforts have well and truly put us on track to meet our objectives.
During the year, we implemented an Organisational Redesign, which was designed to ensure that the organisation is well placed to meet demand for the future growth that we know is coming. We have new specialisations that will facilitate our ability to increase the resilience and robust delivery that we know is needed. Our Health and Ability Services has grown to facilitate an improved focus on quality, and the way in which we support our residents in their lifestyle goals.
This year more than ever, we remain grateful to our funding partners who facilitate our ability to support people. We also acknowledge the vital support in the last year from the emergency staffing pool of Te Whatu Ora. I am proud of the way that our people continue to build engagement and trust through the delivery of our contracted services, ranging from our partnership with Ara Poutama, our collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development He Poutama Rangatahi fund, and our collaborations with ACC, Te Whatu Ora, the Ministry of Education, and Oranga Tamariki.
We also acknowledge those philanthropic partners who continue to see the strong investment that our service represents. We are grateful to the trustees and staff of the Rātā Foundation, Te Rangatahi Tumanako Trust, the Hoatu Fund and others for their vision in investing in the people and communities we support.
The year ahead is full of potential as we emerge from the height of pandemic challenges. I would like to sincerely thank you for your effort, thought and engagement in supporting our shared Mission.
He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
What is the most important thing in the world?
It is the people, it is the people, it is the people.
Ngā mihi mahana,

Message from our Board Chair
The Board of Trustees continue to hold great regard for the work our caregivers carry out each day in a range of communities and settings. In this challenging climate for many New Zealanders, our unique services only continue to elevate the value they represent.
In this year, our people have felt the hardest impact of the pandemic. They have been called on to manage Covid directly in our residential care services, and in many other ways, such as working creatively to support clients in challenging circumstances.
These challenges only serve to underscore the stewardship of resources that continues to see our organisation thrive and ensures our future sustainability.
This year sees the influence of Sarah Hillier’s leadership continue to accelerate, with an embedded and integrated strategic plan, successful organisational redesign programme, and continued gains in our financial sustainability. This momentum affords us the ability to reinvest in our people, and to enact projects that allow us to expand the scope of our work.
A pivotal project in this financial year has been the approval of the $8.9m Lucena development in partnership with St John of God Health Care. This 24-room development unlocks important potential in our residential and rehabilitation care services, as well as signals our maturity and development as a health service provider.
I would like to acknowledge the dedicated work of all the Trustees who support the great work of our team, particularly the service of Dr Kristin Good, who concluded her time this year and brought such depth and expertise to guide our clinical governance group. In this year we are also fortunate to welcome Lisa Evans as a Trustee. Lisa brings rich experience as CEO of St John of God Accord and Group Director of Community Services for St John of God Health Care. Lisa joins Steve Goldsworthy as a Trustee representative of our parent organisation, and we are privileged to continue to strengthen this important relationship.
Rangatahi clients regularly engage in adventure activities at Kura Tawhiti
We are also fortunate in the appointment of Bishop Michael Gielen this year in the Diocese of Christchurch. The support of funds managed by the Diocese, alongside other core philanthropic supporters like the Rātā Foundation, continue to underpin our capacity to achieve growth and development for young people.
In his message to young people this year for World Youth Day, Pope Francis reflected the example of the Annunciation of Mary, in providing us a way forward in these troubling times.
As we emerge from the pandemic into new territory, may we all follow our instincts and drive to see and serve the need in others, particularly those most vulnerable in our communities.
My heartfelt thanks to all of the SJGHT team. I have huge admiration for the dedication and genuine care you all bring to your work every day to support our residents, clients, whanau, and your teammates.
Ngā mihi,
Peter

Our Year in Care
Our Mission is to continue the healing mission of Jesus, supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. Our five core values of Manaakitanga, Aroha, Whakaute, Tika and Hiranga continue to shape our workforce and the way we collaborate to support the people we work alongside every day.

Kia ora koutou,
In this year, our people and the communities we support have lived in an immense period of change. That change has brought challenge, and in many cases loss – in the freedom, choice and opportunity available for people.
A major challenge this year has continued to be the pandemic which forced our people to work creatively to support clients. The requirement for our people to be vaccinated also challenged us all to engage with a variety of viewpoints and to remain open and respectful to difference and diversity. Our Waipuna community banded together to try to understand different choices and support each other when the times were tough. The pandemic has thrown all kinds of challenges in front of our teams. Our staff have remained resilient and focused on continuing to be there for the people who use our services, working creatively to respond to individual need.
Little Owls Preschool has continued to be a vital piece of early intervention work for our community this year. Little Owls supports our vulnerable communities in the East to access early education services for their children. The aim of this service is to keep parent contribution to a minimum to allow families easy and stress-free access to quality early education. We are proud to have delivered 18,604 hours of free quality early education support to our community. We know that a focus on early education delivers lasting benefits for our community in a broad range of outcomes across learning, behaviour, wellbeing and peer connection.
This year Little Owls’ focused on whānau engagement and connection by increasing our parent involvement at preschool. This improves our connection with whānau leading to improved learning and social outcomes. We are looking forward to continuing to develop these initiatives next year.
Our Ara Poutama Partnership continues to be a core collaboration in our services at Waipuna. In this year our team have adapted well to a redesigned youth programme delivery and has continue to achieve strong outcomes for the young people we journey alongside. This year we reached a milestone of 50 youth programmes delivered under this partnership.
The Ministry of Social Development through the He Poutama Rangatahi fund, has become an integrated part of the long-term reintegration pathway for the rangatahi we support. Graduates of our Ara Poutama partnership programmes often need more sustained support in their journey towards growth, education and employment. This new partnership allows rangatahi to get that support. We want to acknowledge the dedicated team supporting the He Poutama Rangatahi fund, for their vision in focusing on delivering effective support to a cohort of young people who are overlooked but have much to contribute.
The national growth of the Mana Ake Wellbeing and Positive Mental Health in Primary Schools programme remains a significant example in what we can achieve through collaboration across the sector and with government. The intervention provides social, emotional and behavioural support to children in schools and their whanau and teachers to promote overall wellbeing. Mana Ake empowers children with resilience and support to enable them to cope with whatever life throws at them.
The Mana Ake service in Waitaha was assessed by Impact Lab as delivering over $14 in social value for each dollar invested, so the government’s commitment to expanding nationally is great news for communities throughout Aotearoa.
An exciting project this year has been collaborating with the Society of St Vincent de Paul on the seven-unit Pavitt Street transitional housing project. Waipuna will provide young families living at Pavitt Street with wrap-around services to support them to build healthy community connections, support their parenting journey and successfully manage and thrive in their daily lives. The construction part of this project is almost complete so our challenge for next year is to design and fund these important services.
We also remain grateful to the enduring contribution of our philanthropic funders. The Rātā Foundation continues to make a critical contribution in how our service continues to meet the needs of vulnerable young people and communities. We acknowledge their team and Trustees in the long-term investment they are making into the future prosperity of a thriving Waitaha.
Ngā mihi,
Kath
Our work in creating the conditions for an enriching and fulfilling life
Health and Ability Services
Kia ora koutou,
This year has been truly challenging for our people, and in the lives of the people we support.
Following two years of controls that kept Covid-19 out of our facilities, the omicron outbreak finally caused us to have to manage the disease inside nearly all our services. While I am proud of how our people continued to deliver safe and effective support to residents, the experience was profoundly challenging.
During a lockdown you would think a hospital would be a hive of activity, with rapid movement and a frenetic pace. The reality however proved quite the opposite, the silence and stillness in the units was a complete departure from the life and energy we associate with our services. This quiet was most pronounced for our residents, removed of the usual vibrancy of daily interactions and services we aim for in supporting an enriching and fulfilling life.
During these extreme times I am proud of how our people worked creatively to support people and to get the job done. Our activities team coordinated room-based activities and helped facilitate countless Zoom calls. Our people proved resilient and adaptable, as time and again this year we called upon them to change how they work, pick up additional shifts, or work creatively to find solutions to urgent need.
With global and national workforce shortages , particularly for registered nurses, our staff have gone beyond the call of duty. Our services, like many in the sector, are balancing short staffing against risk on a daily basis and yet they remain positive and committed to providing the best care they can.
As we enter a new phase in 2022, we see signs of spring growth. The reduction in Covid protection measures has allowed our residents to get back out into the community, and to resume our lively activities programmes.
We are also looking forward to the commencement of the 24 room Lucena development that will provide us with options for delivering specialised care and transform how we deliver Transitional Rehabilitation services.
I am grateful to our people who have done the mahi during this year. I am grateful to an entire host of people within the health system, who have shipped urgent PPE, advocated for our access to emergency staffing pools, and supported us to keep people safe. These were extraordinary times and we responded in extraordinary ways because we care for extraordinary people.
Ngā mihi mahana,

Living our shared Mission through everyday action
Mission Integration
Our Mission is at the heart of everything we do and our commitment to living out our values keeps our Mission alive. Reflecting on the past year, this is evident in the people carrying out our services at St John of God Hauora Trust.
St John of God first received our Mission in the 16th Century; and more than 500 years later the mission is still thriving because of our Caregivers and Volunteers. Our Caregivers and Volunteers continue St John of God’s movement of compassion in their everyday encounters with the people in our care. Through the many challenges of 2021/2022 our Caregivers and Volunteers have emerged with passion and commitment to serve those in need, and their example continues to inspire others to do the same.
I know from encountering our Caregivers and Volunteers through my own work that we have a very humble group of people committed to providing excellent care to everyone that enters our service. Our people commit to serving our residents and clients not to receive credit but because they truly believe that it is a privilege to be invited into someone’s life and help that individual reclaim hope for their future.
The best way to hear how our Mission is lived out through everyday actions is to hear it from our people. I encourage you to listen to the recordings in this annual report about our work supporting people and communities in New Zealand. Dan Eastwood (Manager of Community Development) and his team provide a valuable service that journeys alongside Youth helping them reclaim their place in their community. Jack Haughton (Manager of Rehabilitation and Therapy) and his multi-disciplinary team work to meet individual needs and support residents as they find a new way forward. Danielle Marra (Manager of Young Parents Development Service) and her team support young parents as they face the new challenges brought with the beginnings of family life. Dan, Jack, and Danielle along with their committed teams actively live out our Mission in their everyday work as they continue to serve those in need.
In the 16th Century, St John of God’s gradual awakening to the concerns of the most vulnerable saw the beginning of a love and total commitment to the poor, the sick, the marginalised and anyone in need. He became one of the outstanding figures of history whose spirit has transcended the boundaries of time so that the work he began continues to this day throughout the world. I want to give recognition and a special thanks to all our caregivers and Volunteers who have contributed to our Mission this year and continue to keep the spirit of St John of God alive.
Ngā mihi,
Sinéad
