Thank You to Auckland Foundation Grassroots for Visiting North Harbour Budgeting Services
We were delighted to welcome the team from Auckland Foundation Grassroots to North Harbour Budgeting Services on Tuesday 10 November 2026.
Their visit provided a wonderful opportunity to share the work we do across the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast, highlighting both the positive outcomes we achieve and the challenges facing individuals and whānau in our communities.
Our discussions focused on the importance of looking beyond financial difficulties to understand the whole person and their whānau, and how we work collaboratively with other community organisations to provide practical, meaningful and ongoing support.
We particularly appreciated the team's genuine interest in understanding the financial hardship that exists within our communities, where the perception of relative affluence can often overshadow the very real struggles experienced by many families.
It was a pleasure to introduce members of our dedicated team and share their experiences, commitment and passion for making a difference.
We extend our sincere thanks to Auckland Foundation Grassroots, not only for their generous funding support but also for taking the time to visit, listen, ask questions and gain a greater understanding of the important role grassroots organisations play in supporting our communities.
Your interest, encouragement and support mean a great deal to our team and help us continue providing free financial mentoring, advocacy and financial capability education to those who need it.
From everyone at North Harbour Budgeting Services, thank you for believing in our work and the community we serve.
Thank You to Auckland Founda+ion
North Harbour Budgeting Services would like to sincerely thank Auckland Founda+ion for their generous grant and support of the work we do in our community.
As a charitable organisation providing free financial mentoring, advocacy and financial education, funding such as this makes a real difference to our ability to continue supporting individuals, families and whānau experiencing financial challenges.
With increasing demand for our services and ongoing funding pressures, the generosity of organisations such as Auckland Foundation is especially valuable.
Thank you, Auckland Foundation, for recognising the importance of financial wellbeing and helping us continue to make a positive difference in our community.
Your support is very much appreciated by our team and the many people we work alongside.
Thank You to DebtManagers
A big thank you goes out to Mark Francis, Chris Fiftia and the team at DebtManagers for their recent generous grant to North Harbour Budgeting Services to support our work in the community. We have worked with the DebtManagers team for many years and have always been impressed by their professionalism and ethical approach to their business. Their collaborative approach and willingness to listen to a client's story goes a long way to us finding equitable solutions to almost every situation.
Long may we continue to work together to empower people to achieve financial wellbeing and their financial goals.
Invest time in your relationship with money.
We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with our own finances. Let our financial mentors be your advocate and show you how to live ‘life after debt’, reach your financial goals, and access social support services if needed.
Who do we work with? Everyone.
Our clients are people just like you. With expenses just like yours.
Maybe it’s the kids. Or rising interest rates increasing your mortgage. You might be trying to buy your first or second house. Maybe you’re carrying credit card debt or have used a buy now, pay later service and you feel it’s gotten out of hand.
There’s a lot of secrecy in New Zealand about finances, debt and how much everyone’s earning. This can cause us to manage our money completely on our own. NH Budgeting provides a confidential and friendly service to partner with you to manage your money with more confidence. Our clients use our experience and connections to improve their own situations, everyday.
Whatever is causing your money troubles, we have experience in improving financial situations for all our clients. We provide this service with respect and for free, because we care about you and our community.
You can make a difference, too.
It’s not just the big charities and philanthropists that support NH Budgeting. Each session is funded by dollars, donated by individuals and organisations.

“For anyone struggling with financial pressure, debt or simply wanting to organise their finances more effectively, I believe having access to a knowledgeable and approachable financial mentor can make a meaningful difference.
Of course, the real value comes from putting those lessons into practice, and that's exactly what I intend to continue doing.
Thank you for being so generous with your time, knowledge and patience, and for making the session so easy to follow.
I hope it helps demonstrate the positive impact your service can have.”
