About The Father & Child Trust

The Father & Child Trust was founded in Christchurch in August 1997 by a group of dads who wanted to support each other as parents, bring a male perspective into child-raising and address the lack of services for New Zealand fathers.

We aim to provide all fathers with any help they need, information and support, a safe place to strengthen our dad stuff, possibly form new networks and often just make us feel good about the most important job in our lives. We are not preachy and don’t lecture anyone on how to bring up their kids, we offer and share information for couples to make their own choices.

– Advance the discussion regarding the value of involved fathers in new Zealand
– Provide information and resources to help encourage dads as involved parents
– Deliver personal, phone or group support for fathers on dad related issues
– Offer training, seminars or introduce father support options to agencies
– Partner with Young parents groups, family support groups and workers…
