SUPPORT
STARTS HERE.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
