The Christchurch Aunties is a network of almost 6000 people helping women and children in Christchurch, Ashburton, and the Waimakariri and Selwyn Districts who have experienced family violence and vulnerability, and who are at risk.
Our vision is a Canterbury where all women and children who have been exposed to abuse and family harm, are safe, well supported and resourced, through the agencies we collaborate with.
Our model and our mahi is simple: 
Get basic, essential stuff to women and their families, quickly and seamlessly.
It's a helping hand in their goal to change theirs and their families futures.
And the awesome thing is, YOU can be a part of that change too!
The Christchurch Aunties had a mammoth 2021. We grew the organisation to reach more people, and continued our services safely throughout the changing conditions of Covid. 
Moving into our new HQ in Sockburn made a big impact on how we work, and having a dedicated office space with a great coffee machine is a treat.

We currently support families through:​​
We also support other community organisations in Christchurch throughout the year, such as;
​Linwood Avenue Community Corner Trust, Dress For Success, and PIPS, whose kaupapa is closely aligned with ours.
​
We align with other charities to offer additional resources to our collaborating agencies such as Butterfly Books, who collect and distribute preloved children's books through organisations also supporting Canterbury whānau.

We connect with key staff through our collaborating agencies, and do not donate directly to individuals.

​If someone you know needs help or support, please check out the Family Services Directory for resources.
