Focus joins as Supporter of Wellington City Mission

We are pleased to announce that FocusServices has recently joined the Wellington City Mission as a Supporter of their Mission for Families programme.

In searching for a key charity to support, we looked for an organisation that worked in the same communities that we operate and shared similar people and community-based values as ours. Right from the outset we saw a fabulous synergy between our company and the Mission for Families programme, which provides free assistance to empower struggling young families improve their own lives and the lives of their children.

Our regular financial contribution specifically goes toward the Mission for Families programme, which has two key objectives in providing assistance to families in trouble;

1. Initial relief provided in the form of food, clothing, bedding and assistance finding somewhere suitable to live; and
2. Through an appropriate mix of mentoring, advocacy, counselling, and education, the family can be helped out of trouble and risk onto independent and safe living, and ultimately a better quality of life.

“Our company operates with a labour force that have often come from, or are part of communities and families that struggle with everyday life. While we strive to provide a fair, equitable and supportive working environment for our employees, we’re excited about being able to assist making a difference in the wider community.”

- Joss Jenner-Leuthart, Director, FocusServices

“The Wellington City Mission was delighted to be approached by FocusServices about their desire to support our Mission for Families programme. Regular financial contributions from FocusServices will enable the Mission to continue to provide support for families who are often facing economic and social stress, alcohol and drug dependency and domestic violence.

Our supporters are people who identify with our ideals and are as passionate as we are about making a difference in the community. We look forward to a long and happy relationship with our new friends at FocusServices!”

- Leanne Thompson, Marketing Manager, Wellington City Mission
