Cornerstone Charitable Trust

WHO WE ARE

Cornerstone Charitable Trust is a Rotorua-based not-for-profit focused on reducing barriers to health, wellbeing, and education through practical, community-based support. We work with children, youth, adults, and families who face financial, health, or social barriers to accessing care, skills, and education that support long-term wellbeing.

WHAT WE DO

We deliver accessible programmes and services that support physical, mental, and practical wellbeing, including:

Low-cost and koha-based naturopathy, nutrition, and counselling

Fitness, movement, and rehabilitation-focused classes, particularly for older adults and those needing supportive environments

Nature-based education for children, teaching food growing, life skills, movement, and self-responsibility

Community workshops and small-group education focused on preventative health, natural remedies, and practical life skills

Use of our safe, private facilities to remove intimidation and cost barriers often found in commercial settings

Our services prioritise those who would otherwise go without support, while remaining open and welcoming to the wider community to help sustain ongoing delivery.

WHY IT MATTERS

Many essential wellbeing services are either unaffordable, inaccessible, or overstretched locally. By providing community-based, preventative support in a safe environment, we help people improve their health, confidence, and independence before issues become crises.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS

All funds raised go directly toward:

Subsidising and expanding access to wellbeing services

Programme delivery costs, equipment, and resources

Keeping services affordable and available for those facing the greatest barriers

Your support helps ensure that care, education, and practical wellbeing support remain accessible to those who need it most.
