Who we are
ANCAD is a Charitable, Incorporated Society and community development non-profit organisation that has been supporting the Auckland North community and beyond, since 1974.
What we do
ANCAD organises and coordinates several key programmes of support for the community to build capacity, capability and wellbeing. Our passion and purpose is to be a part of the process of strengthening community through engagement, enablement and education.
Engage
Taea
We strengthen relationships, partnerships and inclusivity with all sectors of the community. We build and strengthen our Kaupapa Māori partnerships and enhance our relationships with Pasifika and Asian communities.
Enable
Whakauru
We respond to emerging trends and current community needs and support capacity and capability initiatives and innovations for a connected, resilient and safe community.
Educate
Whakaako
We provide information, education and resources, contribute to research, innovative practice and strategic community development initiatives.
Why we do it
Like the weaver of fabric, we wish to see the fabric of community knitted together in a strong, interconnected way that builds upon the diversity and strengths of who we are and what we do.
Ehara tāku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takatini
My strength is not as an individual, but as a collective
