Mō mātou | About us

Shore Trust is a small, well-established charitable trust on Auckland’s North Shore. Since 1992, we have supported people with intellectual disabilities to live independent, connected lives providing quality residential care across two homes and walking alongside ten adults as they navigate daily life with dignity, choice, and a real sense of belonging.

We are governed by a committed board that cares deeply about the people we serve. With assets of $3 million and annual turnover of $1.6 million, Shore Trust is in a strong financial position, well-run, stable, and focused on what matters.
