Dunedin Night Shelter

The Dunedin Night Shelter provides emergency accommodation for men and women – 365 days a year.

The Shelter is the only general access emergency accommodation available in Dunedin, offering dinner, breakfast and a warm, dry bed for those members of the community who have run out of other options.

In addition, clients are able to use the laundry facilities to wash clothes, talk and share a hot drink in a safe and caring environment, and are provided with advice and assistance through our community worker to find accommodation and access other benefits or support services they may need.

How You Can Help...

Dunedin Night Shelter does not receive any government funding so we rely solely on the generosity of others in the community for our continued existence.

If you have ever wanted to give back to your community and help people who find themselves in need this is your opportunity to make a real difference. By giving a donation you will have helped keep the Night Shelter running for another night and provided a warm and safe space for a vulnerable member of the community.
