About
wecare.kiwi is here for people living on their own or caring for others to help you get through Covid-19.
Backed by national charities Carers NZ and IHC, wecare.kiwi offers a helping hand, a listening ear, and practical support – if you need help of any kind, we’ll do our best to assist!
We have revived our We Care support and campaigning brand, established in 2008, bring community networks together to support anyone of any age.
“We’ve been in regular contact with a Mum whose two children have disabilities. She is doing a great job getting everyone’s basic needs met and keeping them happy, but says our check-ins to see how she is doing has made a difference for her. Sometimes we all need to know that someone cares.” wecare.kiwi volunteer, Southland

Things we are not:
- wecare.kiwi is not a replacement for ‘hands on’ cleaning and personal care services
- We cannot visit in person, but we can check in by phone and email
- We are not an emergency service or a health advisory service: in emergencies always call 111; if you have a Covid-19 or health query, always call Healthline,
