Partner with us
Prevention is a shared investment.
A few ways to work with us. Each states what we offer, what we ask in return, and what you receive — because a partnership page that only lists benefits is a solicitation, not a proposal.
Prevention is a shared job.
A few ways to work with us. Each one says what you get and what we ask.
An early-stage organisation, open about being early-stage
We do not currently hold government or major philanthropic funding. We are a small, mostly volunteer-run charity looking to build our first funded relationships — and we would rather start that conversation honestly than dress up our size to look ready for it before we are.
What we offer
- A clear, evidence-based model with a small track record we will not overstate
- Direct access to the founder and the Safeguarding Lead — no layers to go through
- A willingness to be evaluated and to report honestly on what worked and what did not
What we ask in return
A conversation before a commitment. Tell us what you would need to see from an organisation our size before funding it.
Workshops and education sessions that reduce your organisers' load
Your organisers and coaches are already among the first people participants tell. Most have had no training for it. We bring a practised disclosure pathway and give participants the language to use it — strengthening what your group already does rather than adding to it.
What we offer
- A Community Workshops or Family Violence Education session, organised and run by Solid Hearts
- Host briefing and disclosure-response training included
- A whānau evening, so home and the hosting group are saying the same thing
- Referral pathways agreed in writing before we deliver a single session
What we ask in return
A host organiser in the room for every session, and honest feedback — including when a session does not land.
We bring method. You hold the mana.
You know your community. We know prevention method and how to evidence it. Our community partnerships are explicitly designed to hand over — success is what still runs twelve months after we leave.
What we offer
- Co-designed delivery with a local steering group holding real authority
- Facilitator training, vetting and credentialling for your people
- Shared measurement, with indicators your community chooses
- A defined handover point, agreed at the first meeting
What we ask in return
Honesty about what will and will not work in your context, and the right to be told when we get it wrong.
Real roles, real training, real support
This work needs more capable adults than we could ever pay for. Whether you have two hours a month or advisory experience to contribute, there is a defined role — with proper training, supervision and boundaries.
What we offer
- Facilitation, advisory support, research, translation, design, events and administration roles
- Full training and Police vetting, at no cost to you
- Supervision for anyone in a facilitation role
- Clear time commitments, honestly stated up front
What we ask in return
Reliability, and a willingness to be vetted and supervised. Nobody works with young people without both.
How a partnership begins
Published with indicative timeframes, so you can plan around it rather than having to ask.
- One meeting
A conversation, not a pitch
We start by understanding what you are trying to achieve. If we are not the right provider we will say so, and where we know someone better suited we will introduce you.
- Two weeks
A written proposal
Scope, cost, timeline, measurement plan, safeguarding arrangements and referral pathways. Nothing is left to be agreed later.
- Four to six weeks
Agreement and preparation
Referral pathways confirmed in writing with local specialist services, facilitators assigned and vetted, staff briefing scheduled.
- Per programme
Delivery and measurement
Programme delivered, with data collected before, immediately after, and at follow-up.
- Within one month
Report and review
You receive your own cohort data and an honest review — including anything that did not work as intended and what we are changing.
Partnerships we decline
Publishing this costs us some funding. It is worth more than it costs, because it tells you what our agreement with you would actually be worth.
Funding that requires us to overstate our outcomes, or to report only favourable findings.
Sponsorship from sources whose conduct conflicts with our purpose, including alcohol industry marketing partnerships.
Arrangements that are principally about logo placement or brand association rather than delivery.
Delivery in a community without a local partner and an agreed handover plan.
Any programme we cannot measure, however well it might be funded.
Single-year funding for work that plainly requires multiple years — we would rather decline than start something we cannot finish.
