Claud Switzer Memorial Trust Board

Help Us Bring Comfort, Dignity, and Joy to Our Elders in the Far North

We’re a registered charitable trust in the Far North, caring for residents in a low socio-economic area. While govt. funding covers our basics, it’s the BIG stuff (like a community hall for activities, automatic doors for better accessibility, hygienic new flooring, bedroom hoist systems for safer care) AND the little extras; like a divine-smelling body wash or a fancy tea or coffee, that truly make life joyful. These small comforts aren’t luxuries - they’re dignity.

We’ve created this page to raise awareness and enlist support from kind-hearted New Zealanders. Your donation helps us provide those special touches and work toward our bigger goals.

Who We Are

We are a team of passionate caregivers, volunteers, and community members who believe in treating every person with respect and compassion. Our facility is more than just a place to live; it’s a home. And like any home, it should be filled with warmth, laughter, and love.

We operate in a region where resources are scarce, but the spirit of community is strong. Our residents have lived rich, full lives; raising families, working hard, contributing to society. Now, in their twilight years, they deserve to be surrounded by kindness and comfort.

Make A Difference <3

We know times are tough for many, and we appreciate every bit of support. Together, we can ensure that our elders live not just with the basics, but with the dignity, comfort, and joy they deserve.
