Seeking to Serve

A quote used by Trust workers is “people do matter”. It is a statement that encourages us to provide services of practical assistance.

Advocacy

People are available to assist others when they do not feel confident or when they are a little wary of the people they are dealing with.  A little positive support can go a long way for others to receive what is theirs to claim.

Food Parcels

These are provided through 0800 Hungry.

The Trust also provides visitation to three retirement homes and monthly church services to these homes.
