A little about us

Presbyterian Support has provided social services in the upper South Island for over 115 years. We've come a long way since we had a handful of children's homes in Christchurch!

Our vision is for an equitable, compassionate and inclusive society and our mission is to enhance the mana of children, young people, whānau/families and older people to be safe, resilient and connected.

Our stories

"Lee*, 17, is one of those people who loves old ‘90s cars - the kind that make heads turn. But for a while, even that passion had to take a back seat. "
Creating Safe Spaces - Lee's Story
"Pippa* is a vibrant, funny, and tech-savvy young girl, constantly on the go. Known for her love of sports and sharp sense of humour, she seems outgoing and energetic."
Pippa's Path of Perseverance
"Over the past 12 months, we’ve been piloting the Dementia Mate WareWare HomeShare programme across the South Island. "
