North Rodney Blue Light

North Rodney Blue Light is an affiliated branch of New Zealand Blue Light and is a registered charity and community youth organisation, located in Wellsford.  The branch has been operational since 1992 running programs and activities for youth in the local community free from drugs, alcohol and violence, at an affordable cost.

Blue Light aims to reduce youth crime, build community partnerships, build young people’s self-esteem, enhance community safety as well as build positive youth and Police partnerships. New Zealand Blue Light is a nationwide incorporated society which has a national executive committee and operates 70 branches nationwide.  Each branch is responsible for sourcing their own funding to facilitate and provide their own youth community programs.

Blue Light works in partnership with families, schools, other community groups, the Police and other government agencies such as NZ Defence Force and Child Youth and Family to deliver a range of programs in education, adventure learning, healthy socialisation, youth development and youth crime reduction.

We feel privileged to be supported by Police Officers, who carry out Blue Light activities over and above their normal police duties.  Those involved with Blue Light are passionate about youth and especially in providing positive experiences for those who may otherwise not have an opportunity.

Although Blue Light is supported by Police, the two operate totally independently and Blue Light does not receive any funding from police.

Our Programs
North Rodney Blue Light benefits up to 2,000 youth in the local community every year.  Our programs adhere to Safety Action and Risk Management Plans.
North Rodney Blue Light assists local organisations such as SUNZ with holiday programs for youth.
