Windsor Park Lifecare Trust

We achieve this by providing support and care services that meet the needs of people: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

OUR VALUES

WE'RE HOLISTIC IN OUR APPROACH.

We are a Christian response to need in our community, providing professional support and care services. In alignment with Te Whare Tapa Whā, we consider holistic needs: physical, social, mental/emotional and spiritual. Our services are open to all, with no faith/spirituality requirements and no judgement on personal beliefs.

WE'RE PRACTICAL IN OUR WORK.

We meet people where they’re at, providing practical support and collaborating to find workable solutions to the complexities of life.

WE'RE DEDICATED TO INDIVIDUAL CARE AND ATTENTION.

Each person is important. We treat each person with care, compassion, respect and dignity. Stronger communities are created when individuals notice and care for each other.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO THE LONG TERM.

Nothing of value comes easily so we’re committed to growing sustainably and responsively as we change with the ebbs and flows of our community.

WHO WE SUPPORT

Our services are open to anyone, with no faith/spirituality requirements and no judgement on personal beliefs.

We are focused on supporting people in our local community. We are based at Windsor Park in the East Coast Bays and cover the whole North Shore of Auckland.

2024 review

2024 was a great year for LifeCare. So many lives were impacted for good as we work to build stronger communities by putting our faith into action.

Every one of these numbers represents a person that has been supported and held up in their time of need. Together we have made our community stronger.
