Anglican Family Care

What Anglican Family Care does

Anglican Family Care (AFC) is a registered New Zealand charity (CC 24152) and non-profit social services agency headquartered at 266 Hanover Street, Dunedin, with regional offices in Balclutha, Alexandra, Wānaka, and Oamaru. Established in 1970 by the Anglican Church (Diocese of Dunedin) and the Methodist Church — the Methodist partner departed in 2005 — AFC delivers nine core programmes across the Otago region: Family Start (early-intervention home visiting for expectant parents and families with infants up to 12 months), Home-based Family Support, Caregiving and Respite Care, Restorative Justice (Ministry of Justice-funded), OCEANS Grief & Loss, Counselling, Social Workers in Schools (embedded in five Dunedin schools), Family Violence Direct Services, and Strengthening Families. Services are free of charge, voluntary, and trauma-informed, and reach 2,500+ tamariki and whānau annually through home visits, office appointments, and school-based delivery.

AFC is staffed by approximately 50 professionally-qualified personnel — registered social workers, family start workers, counselors, restorative justice practitioners, team leaders, and administrative support — under Acting General Manager Quentin Blair and an Acting-Chair-led Board of Trustees that includes community members and a Bishop's Delegate. The underlying technology is service-delivery infrastructure rather than software: home-visit protocols, referral intake, school embedding, and casework systems. There is no proprietary technology platform, app, API, or AI component disclosed; a website with online referral forms and social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, biannual Community Connect newsletter) constitute the digital footprint.

The business model is a hybrid of government service contracts and charitable donations. The majority of work is funded under contract with Oranga Tamariki (Ministry for Children), the Ministry of Social Development, and the Ministry of Justice, supplemented by donations from supporters, bequests, legacy giving, and community fundraising events such as Bingo Nights. Clients pay nothing; the charity is approved under the Child and Young Persons Act 1989 as a Child & Family Support Service. AFC is part of the Anglican Care Network and the Family Start National Collective (43 providers nationally), with Practice Manager Jane Hutton chairing the latter. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
