The Wellington City Mission is a charitable trust affiliated to the Anglican Church. We have been helping those most in need in the Wellington region for 114 years having been formed in 1904 from St. Peter’s Church. In 1929, an Act of Parliament established The Mission as a separate entity.
Through our four programmes – Mission for Families, Mission for Youth, Mission for Independence, and Mission for Seniors – we provide holistic practical support to a broad range of people, from struggling families, to at-risk youth, and vulnerable older people. The assistance we provide includes food parcels, hot meals, advocacy, education, financial mentoring, and social work support. We also operate an elder care residential facility called Kemp Home & Hospital.
We are open to anyone who needs assistance – regardless of their religious belief, age, ethnicity or social background. Together, we work to identify and address people’s underlying issues to create positive outcomes.
