Welcome to Neighbourhood Trust

Neighbourhood Trust (NHT) was established in 1999 by the people of St Albans Baptist Church (SABC) to enrich the lives of the immediate community and further afield. NHT is a charitable trust governed by a Board of Trustees.  The current Trustees are Hugh Swaney (Chair), Graham Collinswood (Secretary), Gabriele Watson (Treasurer), John Alpe, Kaye Hills, Alan Bastin, Tim Burton and Toni Lindo.

NHT's vision is to identify and meet the needs in the community of North St Albans/Mairehau not being met by other groups. Each activity or service we currently run has come from analysis of surveys in the local community.

The Trust works mainly with families and the elderly, providing a wide range of activities and services focussed on empowering and strengthening the community. The Trust offers a hand-up, not a hand-out.

NHT works with other groups and organisations to benefit the community.  It participates in various events and is represented at inter-agency meetings within the Shirley/Papanui Ward.

The Trust is supported by grants from: CCC, Shirley/Papanui Community Board, Fendalton/Waimairi Community Board, MSD, Canterbury Community Trust, COGS, NZ Lotteries, SABC, Perry Foundation, The Southern Trust, Pub Charity, The Boulcott Fund, Eureka Trust, John Ilott Trust and Dove Charitable Trust.  Several businesses also support the work of the Trust - thanks to McGrafix.com, Reach Out Press, Brumby's Edgeware and Veges Direct for their assistance.
