Making a difference, together!

As we start to see Spring blossoms appear and see newborn animals like lambs leaping around farm paddocks, we think about the care that’s needed for new life to flourish.

At Presbyterian Support Otago, we care in many ways through the work we do and the people we help. The stories in this magazine demonstrate how people care for each other. This caring nature is also shown by you, our donors and supporters because without your help, our work would be considerably more difficult to do.

I encourage you to consider making a donation. Your gift will make a very real difference to the lives of vulnerable people who face many challenges from mental health, financial stress and putting food on the table.

Blessings, Jude (Supporter Engagement Manager)

How your gifts have helped

Since January 2023, your donations to our greatest needs have made a significant impact on our community. Among these needs, the Social Work programme has emerged as the most crucial in the last eight months. Through this programme, we have provided vital crisis intervention, mental health support, and advocacy, addressing the pressing challenges faced by individuals and families.

To all those who have contributed to our greatest need and other areas, we extend our heartfelt thanks for being beacons of hope in our community.

Other services which have greatly benefitted are the Buddy Programme, YouthGrow, Parenting Programmes, Financial Mentoring and the Foodbank.
