We work to provide information and support; connect and collaborate; and build resilient community through development projects and cross-sector collaboration.
- We provide a gateway for the community to access free information and support from government agencies like MSD, WINZ, IRD; financial mentors; community law; and social work services.
- We coordinate community services like the Community Foodbank; JP services; Total Mobility Vouchers; Meals on Wheels and Wheels to Dunstan, our community bus service connecting locals to Dunstan and Dunedin hospitals.
- We offer subsidised counselling and financial assistance with one-off household costs through our Community Support Fund.
- We work alongside local social service providers and the community to identify and address gaps in provision; develop and support projects to meet community needs; and support community groups with advice and funding.
