Caregivers Urgently Needed for Tamariki

Anglican Family Care is a social services agency that has served Otago tamariki and their whānau since 1970. Our purpose is to provide social and therapeutic support to whānau from diverse backgrounds, to restore wellbeing and enhance their social resiliency. The whānau and tamariki we support are often experiencing challenging circumstances, such as neglect, isolation, substance abuse, mental or physical health issues, poverty, or family violence.
