One Voice Te Reo Kotahi (OVTRK) sits on the Greater ChCh Psychosocial Committee bringing voices of the Third Sector there. We know we speak from, not for the sector and so if you have any questions you'd like asked or issues raised at the table, please don't hesitate to email us - and / or join the OVTRK Organising Group - see About OVTRK to
help us plan next steps. Over the last few months, OVTRK Organising
Group member, Becca Bouffandeau has been attending these meetings on our
behalf. She reports that she has found the meetings incredibly
informative with many organisations making deputations to the group. One
of the current discussions is about the clarification of what is meant
by "community-led".
Keeping up with what is happening is a challenge and OVTRK would love your help! We want to assist in ensuring our Sector is considered alongside and independent of organisations formed by Government and Commerce - see OVTRK presentation.
Here is what we have gleaned about the big picture for the future. There is now a formal link between two recent strategic framework documents
OVTRK is following up about responses to the Third Sector report through formal links that have been established with the statutory bodies involved in the UDS. Recent elections have resulted in a delay in responses. We are keeping those connections live!
Our regular bimonthly meetings continue with the the GC Group of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPM). We have explored Co-production (No more throw away people - YouTube) between statutory bodies and the Third Sector and expect a briefing at our next meeting this month on the new EQ Recovery Learning initiative and the associated Symposium in February 2017.

While the focus of OVTRK is on Third Sector involvement in strategy and policy, we also keep aware of the projects being undertaken by the new entities:
- Regenerate Christchurch, set up as a partnership between the Christchurch City Council and the Crown. They are focussing on regeneration in the residential red zone , New Brighton and the central city.
- Development Christchurch, which raises funds.
- Otakaro Ltd, which is working on the Anchor Projects.
We look forward to your feedback - and don't forget ideas for the next get together are welcome!
