Freedom Trust has been creating deep and impactful connections in Papanui for almost 30 years.

We were born out of Papanui Baptist Church and maintain a strong relationship and shared vision to serve whānau in northwest Christchurch.

Our Vision:
For northwest Christchurch to be a healthy, resilient community that cares for each other and their environment.

Our Mission:
To partner with people in their journey to belong, grow and contribute within a caring community.

Our Values:
Belonging: People involved with our projects will benefit by belonging to caring communities and developing friendships.

Growing: People involved with our projects will benefit by increasing their skills, health and/or social and emotional capacity.

Contributing: Because people are belonging and growing, they are then in a better social, emotional and practical position to contribute positively to the lives of others in their whānau, neighbourhoods and communities.
