Our mission is to ensure that equitable social policies are maintained and that quality community and social services are delivered to Auckland City community. We aim to achieve this by coordinating the city network of social services, holding seminars on topical issues for social services, writing articles and submissions to analyse local decisions and provide a voice for the Auckland community actively supporting initiatives which share common goals.
