Info for Agencies and Businesses

For nearly a decade our volunteers have been the eyes and ears out on the streets, providing a positive peer presence to young people and lending a helping hand in their time of need.

In situations such as the New Years period, excessive consumption of alcohol and other substances means often things can get a little out of hand, causing issues for party-goers as well as the surrounding community and businesses. That's why Red Frogs is here to help.

Red Frogs partners with local councils, emergency services, event organisers and other key stakeholders to help safeguard the young people that converge on their area, whether they are local or from out of town.

Creating a Safer Community for Young People.

Red Frogs are crucial to the success of the NYE event.

They are reactive and proactive in what they do.
Red Frogs are of great benefit to interagency partnership with QLDC, Police and Hato Hone St John. They provide a conduit between any emergency service uniform presence.

NZ Police truly values the services, engagement and empathy Red Frogs offers. It is a crucial part of the interagency event. NZ Police places a high value on the partnership as we combine our efforts to achieve the outcomes that we all want, a safe and happy NYE.
