PEGASUS POST Tuesday August 2 2016 3 News Salvation Army programme helps hundreds into jobs • By Fraser Walker-Pearce A WORK programme run by The Salvation Army in Aranui finished up last month, getting more than 420 people into work in the rebuild over a period of four years. The ‘U Build 4 the Rebuild’ programme was established as an earthquake recovery project by The Salvation Army in April 2012 and ran its first civil construction course with just five people in June that year. Project manager for the programme Robyn Laurenson (right) said the project was funded by donations from the public after the February 22 earthquake. “We’re based out of Aranui. We did that on purpose, because the east was hit very badly from the earthquakes. Some people needed food parcels, blankets, all sorts of things, so it was a REBUILD HELP: The Salvation Army’s ‘U Build 4 the Rebuild’ programme recently finished after getting more than 420 people into work. way to give back. “The funding for the project was all through donations to The Salvation Army postearthquake from New Zealand and overseas donors . . . when we talked to SCIRT, they were talking about a shortfall of about 1500 rebuild workers,” she said. Ms Laurenson said “pressure cooker” type programmes was the best way to reflect the industry. “The six-week courses started at 7am every morning because we wanted to reflect what really happened in the industry . . . we had people who had lost their jobs through the earthquake. We up-skilled them in a pressure cooker type six week course so they could get into these types of jobs,” she said. Last month, the funding stream ended for the ‘U Build 4 the Rebuild’ programme. But The Salvation Army’s youth and education officer Bruce Tremain said although it is a shame the programme ended, it lends an opportunity for a new programme to replace it. “Unfortunately the funding stream was cut. It was always a limited source and just happened that it finished in June,” he said. Funding has now been moved to a driver mentoring programme, trying to give people confidence to go for their full licence. In Brief ROTHESAY RD LIGHTS Rothesay Rd in Parklands is not scheduled to undergo street lighting upgrades at this time. However, the city council still intends to replace the fluorescent lights. They were installed between the 1960s and the 1980s, and have a low efficiency rating. RICHMOND ROAD REPAIR North Avon Rd has been closed between North Parade and Flesher Ave for wastewater works. The detour will be North Parade, Medway St to River Rd. The road closure is scheduled to be lifted in October. Meanwhile, the Stapletons Rd and Dudley St intersection will be closed for about three months. Stapletons Rd is one-way southbound between Averill St and Randall St. KNITTING FOR ALL Children and the elderly united for a good yarn last week at The Palms shopping centre. Knitting workshops were held, and the centre donated $1000 to the Kiwi Family Trust to help enhance their support services for the community. Children were taught the basics of knitting by expert knitters, and each participant was given a free starter pack. The pack came complete with a ball of wool, knitting needles and an easy to follow pattern.
