Rachel's House Trust

Rachel's House Trust Rachel’s House Trust is based in Rangiora, New Zealand. We are a Non Profit Organization

Rachel’s House Trust, based in Rangiora, North Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand is a Non Profit and Non Government Service that is committed to the support of young parents, helping them to birth and parent their babies. Why
In North Canterbury, many young women are facing unplanned pregnancies. They have significant, life impacting, decisions to make, often with little information or support in which to make them. Mission
We aim to be a visible, approachable ministry that is equipped to provide practical help, advice and other material needs. Rachel’s Trust offers shelter and a safe, empowering environment where these young vulnerable women can plan for their future with their babies. Ministry
Rachel’s House Trust is a ministry to pregnant teens offering accommodation, access to midwifery, social work, counselling, peer support, scholarships, education/vocational training, practical help and long term aftercare. Commitment
We are committed to providing a wrap around service for the mums-to-be, (incorporating fathers wherever possible) equipping them to be able to meet the needs of their babies.

Kia ora whānau!

Our Hub will be closed over the school holidays while our staff and volunteers take a much-needed break and enjoy some time to recharge.

We’ll also be making the most of the quieter time to have a good tidy, organise and refresh of our space, so we’re ready to welcome you all back.

A huge ngā mihi to all of you for your support and understanding. We hope you and your whānau have a lovely school holiday break too!

Ka kite anō!

It's Aotearoa Social Workers’ Day.
Social workers deserve to be celebrated every day, but today we want to especially acknowledge our wonderful Social Worker, Liv.

Liv works incredibly hard alongside the mums and whānau who come through Rachel’s House Trust, walking alongside them with compassion, care and a genuine passion for the work she does. Alongside all of this, she is always bringing a bit of hilarity and fun to our days at RHT. She never fails to make us laugh, and we absolutely love having her as part of the team!

Liv, thank you for the mahi you do, the mothers & whānau you walk alongside, and for being such an important part of RHT. We appreciate you more than you know!

Happy Social Workers’ Day, Liv!

A big thank you to Good Bi***es Baking!

Our Space mamas were spoiled with a box chock-a-block full of delicious treats this week, such a lovely little pick-me-up during their busy weeks of navigating life with a new baby.

Thank you for helping make our Space sessions a little sweeter. We really appreciate you!

At our Playgroup, our focus is simple: creating a space where whānau can connect, feel welcome and enjoy time together.

Each week, we share kai, have a cuppa, sing songs, play and spend time getting to know one another. It’s a chance for tamariki to make connections, while their grown-ups can connect with other parents who are on a similar journey.

We recently received this lovely feedback from one of our Playgroup mums.

Come along, grab a cuppa and connect with us. We’d love to see you!
