We want to recognise and celebrate a partnership that has supported Home & Family for over a decade. From child therapy, to parenting programmes and youth work, Pub Charity has consistently backed Home & Family’s initiatives, enabling us to continue to provide responsive, wraparound support to Canterbury whānau.
This year, Pub Charity generously supported the delivery of our core services, including ara whānau, child therapy, and supervised contact. This enables Home & Family to:
Teach practical skills to caregivers to keep their children safe from violence, abuse, or neglect – whether it’s knowing what to do when a child is sick, learning to communicate with reduced conflict, or understanding how to create a stable home environment, our teaching is tailored to each caregiver’s needs and delivered via evidence-based methods.
Provide therapy to parents dealing with trauma, addictions, and mental health challenges – poor wellbeing can create barriers to parenting and learning new skills. By offering a safe space to share experiences, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies, parents are better equipped to support their tamariki.
Support tamariki and rangatahi to reach their full potential – through trauma‑focused psychology and child therapy, young people receive the guidance they need to make meaningful changes for a healthier, brighter future.
When we support the whole whānau in this way, family ties are strengthened and families become more resilient. Families are the building blocks of a healthy community, and the impacts ripple outward — reduced crime, increased community or cultural engagement, and more youth moving into employment.
To see how our work contributes to wider community wellbeing, check out our Good Measure Report demonstrating the measurable impacts of our mahi.
