STUDENT SUPPORT

Life as a student can be tough, from making ends meet to finding your place. Whether it’s discreet food support, navigating services, or finding a place to belong — we’ve got your back.

OUR SUPPORT AREAS

  • Community & Care

    Hamodava Café is more than a café — it’s a place to study, unwind, and feel at home, with free wifi, student discounts and friendly faces.

    • Student events like live music, quiz nights, board games, and more.

    • Spiritual & pastoral care - connect through our Sunday morning services, student bible study or pop in if you just need someone to listen.

    More than support, a place to belong - find out more!

  • Advocacy & Direction

    • Unsure where to turn? We’ll help you figure out what you need.

    • We can connect you to Salvation Army services (financial mentoring, counselling, navigating IRD, StudyLink, Work & Income).

    • We’ll even stand with you — whether that’s making a phone call together or going with you to a meeting.

    You don’t have to do it alone - find out more!

  • Student Food Support

    • Discreet access to food support through our Hamodava Café.

    “IYKYK” cards connect you to food parcels without stigma or embarrassment.

    • We’re breaking the cycle of “it just is what it is” — you deserve support.

    • Understanding your situation to help you move forward.

    Don’t go hungry - find out more!
