Our Impact in the Community
At St John of God Hauora Trust, we measure what matters: the change in people's lives. Here is what our mahi looks like in numbers.
Understanding need, improving impact
At St John of God Hauora Trust, we are committed to understanding the needs of our communities and continually improving the services we deliver. We commission independent research and evaluation to test what is working and where we can improve. Our latest Waipuna impact report, the Social Impact Report 2025, is the most recent example, an independent review of the reach and outcomes of our Adventure Therapy and reintegration programmes for rangatahi and their whānau.

Hauora Ability Services
Donate to support people living with disability to do more in their community – Enabling Good Lives.
At St John of God Halswell, adults living with disability are supported to live full, connected lives. Your donation helps support increased participation and choice for the people who live with us: whether that is art classes, community outings, music sessions, and celebrations that bring fulfilment and belonging. Every donation creates moments that matter – moments that turn care into community.
Give your time. Change a life.
Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you have an hour a week or a special skill to share, your time helps whānau in our community thrive.

Our work in the community is made possible through the vision and investment of our philanthropic partners.
Every koha makes a difference
Every koha, big or small, helps us walk alongside rangatahi and whānau in our community. Your support funds the day to day mahi that changes lives.
