In February 2025, Visionwest wanted to better understand their impact and learn how they could do even more good. They partnered with ImpactLab to estimate the social value of their programme.

This thesis used a five-step appreciative inquiry process to explore with 20 Visionwest staff and clients what works for families when establishing a permanent home.

This report records Visionwest’s response to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland’s catastrophic weather events in the first couple of months of 2023. Within hours of the flooding, Visionwest team members were on the ground providing for the needs of those displaced from their homes. Over the coming weeks, Visionwest provided wraparound support for those affected; support which is ongoing and expected to be required for months, perhaps years, to come.
