A hub of care

connection

and support

The Loft was created in response to the needs of a community deeply impacted by the 2010/11 earthquakes. As charities were displaced and searching for a new home, an opportunity emerged—not just to co-locate services, but to build something greater. The Loft was founded as a collaborative hub where agencies work together to remove barriers, ensuring people can easily access the care and support they need.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to create a welcoming space where individuals and whānau can easily access the support they need to thrive. By bringing services together under one roof, we make it simpler for people to find help, connect with the right support, and improve their wellbeing.

Our Collaboration

At The Loft, collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with 15 partner agencies that operate within our space or run weekly clinics, ensuring people can access multiple services in one place. Through our unique partnership model, we break down barriers that often make it hard to get support—streamlining referrals, sharing resources, and working together to put the needs of whai ora first. This intentional collaboration makes The Loft more than a co-located workspace—it’s a connected, wraparound support hub where agencies unite to create better outcomes for our community.

Our Call to Action

We believe that when we uplift others, we rise together. "Ki te Tihi – To the Summit" is our guiding principle, reminding us that every step we take to support individuals and families brings our entire community closer to strength and wellbeing. Our work is driven by this commitment to help others reach their own summit—where they feel safe, empowered, and hopeful for the future.

Ki te Tihi! To the Summit!
