What we offer

Our Community Relations team uses Community Led Development Principles to help churches, schools and communities listen to each other’s stories and find ways to create inclusive, caring communities.

Just Stories is one way for the Presbyterian whānau to share inspirational stories of ‘justice in action’ and encourage different groups to be agents of change. You can find out more about Just Stories here. 

Presbyterian Support Northern (PSN) also runs an initiative called Communities Feeding Communities in Mount Roskill – a community space and new model of a foodbank designed to foster a sense of belonging and dignity. You can learn more about CFC here.
