The Women's Helping Hand Trust NZ is a Canterbury-based charitable trust supporting ethnic women, children and families through free programmes focused on wellbeing, personal development and community connection.
The Trust was founded and is chaired by Parminder Kaur KSM, JP. It grew out of a clear need in the community. When the COVID-19 pandemic left many ethnic families isolated, the Trust stepped in to provide food and practical support to households and to help people stay connected through lockdowns. Working alongside government agencies, Parminder also helped deliver public education sessions on COVID-19 and vaccinations to ethnic communities.
When the pandemic eased, the community asked the Trust to keep going, and it did. Today the Trust runs weekly wellbeing and development classes for women in Selwyn and Christchurch, along with special events for women throughout the year. These programmes give women a welcoming space to build confidence and skills, look after their health and wellbeing, and form friendships across cultures and backgrounds. For many, they are a first point of connection in a new community.
