Waiheke Island Supported Homes
Our Mission:
Empower
At Waiheke Island Supported Homes Trust, we are dedicated to promoting independence for individuals with varying needs. Our programs are designed to empower residents to make choices that foster personal growth and self-sufficiency.
Through tailored support and community involvement, we encourage individuals to explore their interests and develop essential life skills. This approach not only enhances their quality of life but also builds confidence and resilience.
We believe in creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, contributing to a vibrant, inclusive community on Waiheke Island. By prioritizing independence, we help individuals to not only envision a fulfilling life but also work towards achieving it.
