Help South Auckland whānau achieve financial freedom and wellbeing
When the cost of food, housing and everyday essentials keeps rising, one unexpected bill can be enough to tip a whānau into financial hardship.
But you can help.
Whether it’s help with free budgeting advice, essential support services or food security, the support your donation provides helps empower individuals and tamariki to lead fuller, brighter lives.
Please donate if you can.
Ngā mihi nui - thank you!
MBST is here to help empower and educate communities to financial independence and wellbeing
Right now families like Lucy’s are making impossible decisions.
Whether to pay the electricity bill, or put food on the table for their tamariki. Along with this struggle often comes a deep sense of shame and helplessness.
Your donation today can help change lives.
When Lucy first came to Māngere Budgeting Services Trust, she felt completely overwhelmed by debt and unable to keep up with her repayments. She was worried she would not have enough money for her next payment and felt she could no longer provide adequately for her family.
Lucy felt stuck, stressed, and uncertain about her financial future.
Noel, one of our Financial Mentors, worked alongside Lucy to unpack her financial situation step by step.
With the help of budgeting, counselling and using recipes and support available through the Tātou Social Supermarket Lucy was able to meet the immediate needs of her family as well as learn new skills.
Lucy regained a sense of control and hope.
