Hatikvah: Blue Hope Foundation

Revolutionizing Police Wellness and Safety

The Idea origin story

At the Hatikvah Blue Hope Foundation, we prioritize the well-being of New Zealand police workers. Our focus areas include PTSD and suicide prevention, rights advocacy, and facilitating occupational health services. We leverage partnerships with Worksafe NZ, ACC, and other agencies to catalyze better working conditions. Our Ima Project provides tailored support to women connected to police workers.

The Mission

Vision: Zero suicide in NZ Police. Mission: To enhance police worker health, safety, and wellness through support, advocacy, and modern occupational health techniques.

Clients

Our primary customers are active and retired NZ police workers and their families dealing with PTSD, women affiliated with them, and funders.

Competitors

Competitors

Key competitors include the NZ Police Association's Health Plan and Wellness Hub, both offering comprehensive health services and well-being resources to police staff. Also notable is the Public Service Association's wellness initiative aimed at overall mental health support.

Our Advantages

We shine by delivering tailored support to NZ police workers, with a unique focus on PTSD and suicide prevention. Our experienced team navigates the ACC system proficiently while addressing gaps in women's support. We're guided by legislation, ensuring relevant and timely assistance.

Business model

We earn via member fees for accessing support services, donations and fundraising events. Plus, grants back special projects like Ima Project.

Traction

In the past six months, we have seen a substantial rise in recognition across New Zealand and an increase in injured police seeking our help. Our consistent membership growth reflects rising trust and facilitated expansion of support services.

By the time of funds depletion, we'll have boosted membership and support services. Our Ima Project's platforms will be upgraded with increased media coverage. We aim to enhance operational efficiency while solidifying stakeholder relationships for sustained police mental health advocacy.

Metrics

PitchBob’s recommendation: Key metrics we monitor are reductions in police suicides and increased PTSD reports to Worksafe, alongside membership growth, support recipients, media mentions and achieved grants. They measure our programs' impact and efficacy.

Our membership is growing, fueling revenue. We're striving to bill ACC for occupational health services but navigating bureaucratic obstacles. Our working capital target is $6000 yet stands at $4000, necessitating better cash flow strategies. Enhanced media visibility fortifies our finances and outreach efficacy.
