Life Skills & Life-long Friends

Blue Light delivers an extensive range of youth programmes and activities

Every day we work to make a lasting difference to the lives of tamariki and whānau who need us.

We believe that every child in care deserves to know that their community cares about them. We strive to make this mission a reality by providing children with necessities to ease the transitional period for them and their new caregivers.

We provide services to vulnerable children and their whānau to improve their well-being and resilience.

We've been supporting youth in New Brighton since 1989! In school, out of school, weekdays, weekends, holidays... you name it, we've got something on.

Youthtown's Purpose - To empower young people to be the best they can be.

Te Whare Awhero (Hope House), originally known as Hornby Presbyterian Community Trust, is motivated to bring hope to those who are facing life’s challenges, help empower them in achieving tino rangatiratanga and enrich the community with manaakitanga to positively influence a society where people can mutually uplift one another.

As New Zealand’s second oldest charity, our services result in measurable change to ensure all children are safe, cherished and their potential is nurtured.

Whānau Āwhina Plunket is a charity and Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest support service for the health and wellbeing of tamariki under-five and their whānau.

Tamariki and whānau are safe, recover from past trauma, reconnect with each other and create a positive future.

Strengthening father-child relationships through support, education and fun.
