Community Services

Whakamaru, Te Pā Pori, and Te Pā Manawa are three of our transitional housing communities. Residents at each site can access safe, secure accommodation while receiving wrap-around support to help them move into permanent housing and achieve their personal goals. Te Pā Maru is our residential alcohol-harm reduction facility, supporting whānau who often cannot access other residential services due to alcohol use disorders. We also operate Kemp Home and Hospital in Tītahi Bay, a 60-bed aged residential care facility providing professional rest home and hospital-level care, with 10 additional transitional housing units on site. While each of our sites serves a unique purpose, they are all united by our Mission’s values of dignity, respect, and no-judgement – helping people toward empowerment, transformation, and fullness of life.

Our City Mission Stores are treasure troves of high-quality pre-loved goods — clothing, furniture, books, homeware, accessories, and more.
But they’re also something much bigger. Every purchase helps fund Mission services like food support, housing pathways, social connection, and wraparound whānau care. Your generosity keeps our shelves full and your community strong. Whether you’re donating items, hunting for a bargain, or searching for your next great find – you’re helping change lives.

Through a range of support services, the Wellington City Mission seeks to achieve empowerment, transformation and fullness of life for those who are at risk or struggling in the Greater Wellington region. Our services are integrated and tailored to the individual, helping people move towards stability, empowerment and fullness of life.

Managed by the Hutt City Council, this community center stands as a beacon for local residents seeking a space to gather, learn, and celebrate.The Wainuiomata Community Hub is more than just a physical space; it embodies the spirit of togetherness in the region. Whether you’re a resident looking to engage with fellow locals or a group searching for a venue to host workshops or social functions, this accessible community center in Lower Hutt provides the ideal setting. These centers act as vital hubs where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can come together for education, recreation, and mutual support. In a fast-paced world, community centers provide a rare opportunity to slow down and build bonds with neighbors, participate in cultural exchanges, or engage in lifelong learning through workshops and programs tailored to local interests.

We are a registered charity keen on improving the well being of Wellington and Auckland's most vulnerable people.
