Mangere Budgeting

Help us to raise funds to provide support and services to struggling whānau, individuals and pensioners as the cost of living means families struggle to make ends meet.

We are seeing increased demand from kiwis reaching out for support as they struggle to meet everyday costs and support their tamariki. Over the last three years many have have lost their jobs, had incomes reduced and are now living with financial hardship, We need your help so that we can continue to support them with emergency food support, financial mentoring, counselling, community connector support and more.

We help vulnerable low-income families with: * One on One Budget Advice, * Financial Planning, * Negotiations with Creditors, * Advocacy with Government, and Non-Government agencies, * Financial Capability Workshops, * Housing Advocacy, * Counselling, * Strengthening Families Programme, * Food Parcels for whanau in need, * Access to quality second-hand clothing and furniture bank, * Healthy Lifestyles Cooking Programme, * Freephone Budgeting Helpline: 0508 22 22 83

In the last 12 months we have given out over 10,000 food parcels and helped over 5,500 clients or 9,000 whanau members with Budgeting Support. We 'teach our clients how to fish' so they can feed themselves, their whanau and their communities for a lifetime. Making smarter choices with personal income is the key to a lifetime of financial freedom.

Please help us to help them!
