The Ranui Action Project is a community development project at 476 Swanson Road in Ranui, West Auckland. It has been working with local people for 20 years, celebrating the wellbeing and creativity of the community, and it runs its services and events with Māori language woven through its work. It is a place for Ranui people to come in, get help and connect.
The project offers regular drop-ins. Legal support is available every second Wednesday from 9am to 11am, with a lawyer from Waitematā Community Law. IT help is available every Friday from 12pm to 2pm, and the project can help with learner licence theory tests, CVs and job searches. An Oranga Tamariki advocate is available to visit, and advocacy for beneficiaries is provided by Auckland Action Against Poverty. There is also help with Work and Income matters.
A bi-monthly meeting is open to anyone who wants to connect with others in the area. The project holds community events such as the Kaitiaki Hīkoi, the Rānui Network Hui and a Matariki evening for all ages. To find out about services, message the project through its Facebook page or call its number.
