The Anglican Trust for Women and Children is a major Auckland family charity and one of the city’s oldest.
We have been helping mothers, children and families since 1858 and are here for the long haul.
Through our family services, early education services and social work services we are committed to investing in Auckland’s children and building them the happy, healthy future they deserve.
We need ongoing funding and donations to keep providing our high quality services to Auckland’s community.

ATWC Acknowledges Royal Commission Findings
The Anglican Church has responded to the Abuse in Care Royal Commission of Inquiry’s findings, saying “We acknowledge all the findings of fault against the Anglican Church which are recorded in Section 7 Chapter 12 of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care’s report Whanaketia – Whakairihia ki te tihi o Maungārongo - Through pain and trauma.” You can read the full statement here.
As part of the Anglican Church family, the Anglican Trust for Women and Children also acknowledges the Royal Commission’s findings, and the impact abuse has on survivors.
We will work alongside the Anglican Church through the Te Korowai working group on the recommendations, as we continue to inform and improve our survivor-led recovery and healing process in light of the Royal Commission’s findings.
ATWC is committed to reconciliation and healing, and encourages historic abuse survivors to come forward, they will be believed, respected and supported.
