The Porirua Whānau Centre Trust

http://poriruawhanau.org.nz/

The Porirua Whānau Centre is one of six Family Social Service Centres in New Zealand.

We are seen as a ‘hub’ of our community, providing education and social service programmes to enhance the health, education and economic well-being of our families and children.

We take a holistic approach – we provide support and services for babies, through to children, and on to teenagers and adults – all the way to seniors. If you need some friendly, caring support, no matter what your age, background or your ethnicity, you’ll find it with us!

And if we can’t help you directly, we’ll help you find an agency that can.
