Downtown Community Ministry Wellington Incorporated
DCM might be a small organisation, but we are working on some of the biggest problems facing Wellington city. We support the most vulnerable people in our city to break the depressing cycle of life on the street, hospital emergency rooms, police cells, prison and the night shelter.
DCM is not just there to pick up the pieces. We see our job as assisting people to put their lives back together. Our programmes are practical and useful. We assist many people to make dramatic changes in their lives. Often they achieve wellbeing and independence for the first time in a long time. At DCM, we have a big vision – we firmly believe that by working together, we can end homelessness in our city.
