Te Whānau Pūtahi (The Family Centre) is a faith-based charitable organization that has been serving the Fairfield community for over 25 years. As an integrated urban mission, we focus on walking alongside our community to build meaningful relationships, while working to strengthen, encourage, and support families in practical, emotional, and spiritual ways. We promote cohesive family dynamics and
assist families in maintaining these connections. Operating as both a Community Centre and a Community Church, we have provided support and fostered relationships for hundreds of individuals and families throughout the years. Fairfield, in comparison to Hamilton as a whole, is classified as a low socio-economic area, facing challenges such as higher unemployment rates, lower annual incomes, a greater number of single-parent families, crowded housing conditions, and schools with low decile ratings. Additionally, it is a multicultural community with a notable Māori population.
