Community Care Trust: Empowering People to Live Meaningful, Independent Lives

Every person deserves the opportunity to live a life filled with purpose, dignity, and connection. Community Care Trust is dedicated to making this vision a reality by providing compassionate, person-centred support that helps individuals and families achieve their goals.

As a trusted not-for-profit organisation, Community Care Trust works closely with people from diverse backgrounds to create tailored support solutions that promote independence, wellbeing, and community inclusion. Through collaboration, advocacy, and innovative care services, the organisation empowers individuals to lead fulfilling lives while strengthening the communities they belong to.

About Community Care Trust

Founded in 1995, Community Care Trust has grown into a respected provider of individual and family support services across New Zealand. The organisation focuses on building strong partnerships with individuals, families, and communities to deliver meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

With a dedicated team of professionals and support workers, the trust offers compassionate guidance and practical assistance to people facing complex life challenges. Its approach centres on person-directed support, ensuring every individual’s voice, choices, and aspirations are respected.

Community Care Trust has also achieved Silver Accreditation from the Investors in People Standard, demonstrating its commitment to employee development, leadership excellence, and a supportive workplace culture.

A Person-Centred Approach to Support

At the heart of Community Care Trust is a belief that every individual has unique strengths, goals, and potential. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the organisation collaborates closely with people to understand what matters most to them.

Support services are designed to help individuals develop skills, build confidence, and participate actively in their communities.

Areas of Support Include

• Household management and independent living skills
• Education and learning opportunities
• Communication and social development
• Employment preparation and career support
• Health and wellbeing guidance
• Relationship building and community participation

By focusing on self-determination, empowerment, and inclusion, Community Care Trust helps individuals build the confidence and capability needed to achieve their personal goals.

Who Community Care Trust Supports

Community Care Trust works with a diverse group of people who may require specialised support or advocacy.

Key Communities Served

• Individuals with intellectual disabilities
• People on the autism spectrum
• Individuals with disabilities resulting from injury through ACC support services
• Children and young people needing urgent supported accommodation through Oranga Tamariki
• People living with physical impairments
• Individuals with high or complex support needs
• People with challenging behaviours requiring structured support
• Individuals with disabilities involved in the justice system

Through inclusive practices and a strong commitment to human rights and community development, the organisation ensures everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in society.

A Culture Built on Respect and Inclusion

One of the defining strengths of Community Care Trust is its people. The organisation recognises that compassionate, skilled staff are essential to delivering meaningful support.

The team embraces values such as:

• Respect and dignity for every individual
• Mana-enhancing support practices
• Collaboration with families and communities
• Innovation in support services
• Commitment to diversity and inclusion

By fostering a supportive work environment and investing in staff development, Community Care Trust continues to deliver high-quality services that truly make a difference.

Why Community Care Trust Stands Out

Community Care Trust is more than a service provider—it is a trusted partner in personal growth and community inclusion. Its combination of person-directed support, advocacy, and innovative care programs allows individuals to build meaningful lives on their own terms.

What Makes the Organisation Unique

• Established not-for-profit charitable trust with decades of experience
• Investors in People Silver Accreditation demonstrating organisational excellence
• Highly skilled and compassionate support teams
• Inclusive services tailored to individual needs
• Strong focus on community integration and empowerment

Building Better Futures Together

At its core, Community Care Trust believes that everyone deserves the chance to live a life filled with opportunity, independence, and connection.

By working in partnership with individuals, families, and communities, the organisation continues to transform lives through inclusive support services, advocacy, and person-centred care.

Whether supporting people with disabilities, empowering young individuals, or strengthening families, Community Care Trust remains committed to enabling great lives—today and for the future.
