About Us:

Community Link Trust strengthens communities through practical whānau and youth support services that bring hope, transform lives and change the future. Our unique approach to supporting the community is to walk alongside one individual and whānau at a time, to restore Hauora, hope, and to activate change that creates real and permanent transformation. Our dream is to see a healthy, prospering community, where every person has the support and tools they need to dream about their futures and achieve their goals.

We are part of the Activate Faith Group and have seen many lives transformed over the past 14 years. Our programmes and services are built from the four cornerstones of Te Whare Tapa Wha; Whānau (family wellbeing), Hinengaro (mental/emotional wellbeing), Tinana (physical wellbeing, and Wairua (spiritual wellbeing). Our services include rangitahi (youth) mentoring, parent mentoring, in-school mentoring, financial mentoring, and unique alternative education programmes for high-risk children and young people.
