Vinnies is here to help you

Vinnies Wellington is here to support our Wellington Community. It’s easy to get in touch with us to talk about how we can support you. You can either:

When we see you or speak with you, we’ll take down some details. The information gathered helps us to work out what other support we may be able to provide, and to get the right people to support you and your needs. All the information you provide to us is confidential.

If someone in your household, or whanau is struggling, feel free to get in touch as well and we can discuss options.

Please remember, we’re not a crisis service and are unable to provide 24/7 support, and are only reachable during our office hours: 9am-4:30pm

Frequently Asked Questions

    For baby & kids assist, we accept walk-in requests to visit the item bank, but you will be required to complete a small form with your details. To make sure someone will be there when you arrive, please get in touch before arriving.
