Evening Meet* - Ak City Mission Chris Farrelly

A slight change to our evening meet calendar, due to availability of speaker.

Featuring Chris Farrelly - Auckland City Mission

Hear the insights on how we try and support those in need.  The passion and drive of those who work closely with those in need.

Whether it’s a specific issue that has led someone to the Mission, the effects of the continuing poverty cycle, or a culmination of many problems, Mission staff and volunteers are here to help.

On arrival at the Mission, an Assessment Professional will talk through a person’s situation in-depth in an effort to really understand the issues that have led them to us.

Staff then offer immediate practical assistance (such as food or warm clothing) where required, provide advice, make referrals to other services and develop a plan to help resolve deeper issues.

WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO US FOR HELP, WE ASK TWO KEY QUESTIONS:

1. What are this person or family’s immediate needs (eg: food, emergency accommodation, warm clothing)?
2. What can be changed to positively improve their chances for the future?

Note: Bring a donation on the evening as a gift to the mission.
