Mō mātou - About us
When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years.
Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.
Conveniently located in central Karori, the modern and stylish Huntleigh Home overlooks a sunny central courtyard and residents enjoy the easy indoor-outdoor living.
At Huntleigh Home there are lots of shared spaces, including lounges and courtyards. This is where you’ll find residents reading, socialising, hosting visitors, attending concerts and taking part in the many recreation activities on offer.
A highlight for many residents and visitors is the fabulous shop and café. Known as the Trading Post, the shop is run by residents and volunteers. You’ll often find avid conversations happening in the café. It’s a great place for an ice-cream in summer too.
Together, we make a lasting difference.
