About us

As New Zealand’s 2nd oldest Charity (est. 1898), Home and Family have evolved from ‘The Society for the Protection of Women’ into a child-focused organisation protecting childhoods by providing early intervention and wrap-around support to pēpi, tamariki, rangatahi and their parents/caregivers and whānau.

Our vision is that all tamariki experience a safe and positive childhood. In service of this, we build the life skills, confidence, and self-belief to live lives free from anxiety, stress, depression, and  behavioural and mental health issues.

We provide direct, measurable change to the lives of over 1300 children and their parents/caregivers annually. Our work reduces the systemic cycle of maltreatment, violence and abuse of children.
