Donating today helps people tomorrow
A little about us
Presbyterian Support has provided social services in the upper South Island for over 100 years. We've come a long way since we had a handful of children's homes in Christchurch!
Our vision is for a just, compassionate and inclusive society and our mission is to support children, young people, whānau/families and older people to be safe, strong and connected.
Our stories
"When a young person's future is uncertain the Youth Service team will help them get the financial assistance and support they need."
A step in the right direction
"When Davis was the victim of bullying at school, his behaviour changed but when he started working with a Presbyterian Support social worker, life got a little easier."
When school isn't 'fine'
"Becoming increasingly isolated, far from her native Fiji, Bella found new friends at Enliven's HomeShare."
HomeShare helps an older new, New Zealander
