25 years of helping those in need
We are a local charity that helps people in Nelson/Tasman with real needs.

Our Mission
In 1993, a group of local people set up the Fifeshire Foundation as a charitable Trust to raise money locally to support local people in need. Since 1993 our aim remains the same, to help people in crisis, and to help people make longer term changes in their lives.
We are a local charity that helps people in Nelson/Tasman with real needs.
Our grants pay for goods and services from local businesses and suppliers, so your donations go back into the Nelson community.
Our administration costs are covered by generous sponsors, ensuring 100% of the money you donate will go where it’s needed.
This is enough to buy food for families
in crisis
This contributes to the purchase of a
new fridge so a family doesn’t have to
use chilly bins.
Over a year, this amount buys eye tests
and glasses for ten people.
All donated funds go to assist people.
Each year we aim to raise about $120,000 through fundraising and donations.
Our administration costs are covered by local businesses, which means no donations are spent on administration. If you want to know how to donate, please click the link below.
Mother of three
We are a Charitable Trust that gives assistance to local people in hardship and domestic crisis.
We support individual and families in need as well as the organisations
who work with people in need.
We know that many people in our region are coping with things like poverty, unemployment, health crises and domestic violence. In addition people may be managing to make ends meet, but then face a crisis or an unexpected extra expense and need somewhere else to turn.
Donate in any amount, or find out other ways you can help.
