Community Services

We are a nationwide, but locally based, community organisation. We help people to know and understand their rights and obligations, and how to use this information to get the best outcomes.

Our work includes social work, short term interventions, prison chaplaincy, hospital chaplaincy, support for refugee resettlement, community advocacy, and other programmes to support individuals and families.

Canine Friends Pet Therapy is a New Zealand-wide network of people who share their friendly well behaved dogs with patients in hospitals and residents in rest homes/hospices.

Aotearoa Community Resilience Network Charitable Trust believe that community resilience is having the resources, social capital, communication, and competence so the community can thrive. We believe disaster resilience is being ready, able to respond to, and able to recover from a disaster. We also believe a community is more likely to be disaster resilient if it is community resilient.

Our 4 A Better City vision is to empower our community through compassion, support and education for a hope filled, sustainable future.
