As Aotearoa’s largest children’s charity, our strength is in the breadth and depth of support we offer. Whatever a child’s needs, we will strive to meet them. Our experience and expertise mean our services make a positive, long-lasting difference to children’s lives.
Through the generosity of donors and funders we provide programmes and services that help those in need and empower those who need support – irrespective of age, ethnicity or religion. We work with the youngest members of our community at Aratupu through to the oldest at WesleyCare. We support families in need and help build resilient and responsive communities. We provide a voice for those who need one and homes to those without one.
Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust supports local families to reach their full potential through free wellbeing services, offered across the Waimakariri and Hurunui Districts.
We support families for free
Our support for families focuses on enhancing strengths, removing barriers and helping people meet life’s challenges. We also look for opportunities to build on the good work being done by groups in our local community.
‘Family Help Trust, established in 1990, has focused on ‘breaking the cycle’ of family harm and deprivation and improving the safety and wellbeing of young children in the Canterbury community. We do this through our child abuse-prevention services for ‘high-risk’ families and our HIPPY programmes. Our early-intervention services are home-based, intensive, long-term, family and child-focused’.
