Making a difference in Otago

During the last financial year we have helped make a difference to thousands of people across Otago. We couldn’t provide this support without your help!

5,623 Family Works clients
4,576 Food parcels supplied
244 Children who participated in Family Works programmes

(Figures from 1 July 2023 - 30 June 2024)

Your donation can make a HUGE difference to someone in need. 

We’ve seen a large increase in demand for all our services across Otago. As a charity, we rely heavily on donations to provide these services to the community.

We work to support local people in Otago with emergency food parcels, help people take control of their debt through financial mentoring, support whānau and tamariki through parenting programmes and social work support. We work across agencies to help find the best outcomes for difficult issues like family harm, and advocate for those unable to do so for themselves.

The donations we receive are only used for services in Otago, they are not sent to other regions.
