Protecting Tamariki. Supporting Whānau. Strengthening Communities.
For over 125 years, Home & Family | Te Whare Manaaki Tangata, has stood as a pillar of strength and resilience for our Canterbury community. We walk alongside whānau, protecting childhoods from violence, abuse, and neglect – and empowering them to thrive.
What's The Need?
-
Canterbury police receive a family violence callout every 40 minutes
-
Children admitted to hospital last year due to assault, abuse or neglect was the highest in 10 years
-
New Zealand has the worst youth suicide rate in the developed world
What Difference Are We Making?
Each year, Home & Family supports more than 1,000 tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau to create positive, sustainable change.
Through services such as parent education, trauma-focused therapeutic support, and specialised programmes for youth who initiate violence, we are building stronger, safer futures for our Canterbury community.
But our work is only possible thanks to the generosity of our local community. By becoming a regular donor, you help us continue this vital mahi and ensure we can keep making a meaningful impact for generations to come.
Thanks to our supporters
Through weaving many strands a basket is formed to protect what's within
