Youth support service Springboard has bought Sheepworld on State Highway One, just north of Warkworth. The deal was signed last Thursday, June 10.
Springboard founder Gary Diprose says the purchase provides an exciting opportunity to develop a youth development space. He says Sheepworld owner John Collyer has been supportive of the purchase, which will secure the tourist attraction’s future.
Since setting up 19 years ago, Springboard has cemented its place in the Mahurangi community and has become a model for other youth services in NZ. It currently works with 260 young people, offering a range of employment training and support programmes, from its headquarters based in Hamatana Road, Snells Beach.
