Trustees Sought – South Centre Anglican Care Trust (Southland) - Te Whare Manaaki

South Centre Anglican Care is seeking new Trustees to join its Board as it strengthens and renews its governance for the future.

Based in Invercargill, South Centre provides community-based support to whānau and individuals across Southland, including home-based family support, delivery of the internationally recognised Triple P Positive Parenting Programme, peer support for those impacted by methamphetamine use (H.A.R.D. – Healing Around Real Dilemmas), and a volunteer-supported service for socially isolated elderly people. The work is practical, relational, and grounded in the values of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.

We are seeking people with governance experience or professional expertise in areas such as finance, law, social services, health, community development, risk management, or Te Ao Māori. Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity and play a vital role in ensuring South Centre remains sustainable, accountable, and responsive to community need.

If you are interested in contributing your skills to support vulnerable families and individuals in Southland, we would welcome a confidential conversation.

For further information, please contact MaryAnn Kuiti southcentre@xtra.co.nz
