The Wellington City Mission

About

The Wellington City Mission has been helping those most in need throughout the Greater Wellington region for over 110 years.

Story

The Mission prides itself on being open to anyone who needs assistance, regardless of religious belief, ethnicity or social background, and our range of programmes encourage participants to identify and address underlying problems, creating positive outcomes.

The Mission is a Charitable Trust affiliated to the Anglican Church, beginning in 1904 when it was part of St. Peter’s Church. In 1928 an Act of Parliament established The Wellington City Mission as a separate entity.

The Mission’s vital services assist people in Greater Wellington communities across the age spectrum - from young families to seniors.
