Calling forth a just and compassionate Aotearoa
Nau mai, haere mai
Ki te kotahi te Kākaho, ka whati, ki te kapuia, e kore e whati.
When we stand alone we are vulnerable, but together we are unbreakable.

About NZCCSS
The New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services (NZCCSS) represents six Christian networks made up of more than 250 organisations delivering community, health and social services across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Their important mahi at the flax roots of communities informs our work advocating for change to improve the lives of all New Zealanders, which we see as an extension of the mission of Jesus Christ. We're dedicated to taking meaningful action to honour the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in our work.
