Our News:
I wish to advise that Libby Robins moved on from Family Help Trust at the end of July. Libby has contributed hugely to FHT over the years and was the founder way back in 1990. Her energy and enthusiasm have ensured FHT has maintained its standing as an effective service to vulnerable children which has been supported by government contracts and from a generous philanthropic base.
Libby’s commitment to FHT has been enduring and for that reason I am delighted to announce that she has become one of our patrons alongside Dame Lesley Max. Libby is continuing to do consultancy work and apply her skills and knowledge to the sector.
Ross Haggart
Executive Director

ImpactLab Good Measure Report March 2021
Below is the forward to the report by Sir Bill English, Impact Lab Chairman. It explains what ImpactLab does and why we thought it essential to commission the report:
I had the privilege in public life to work with people who understood the need for positive change in the lives of those around them and worked hard to achieve it.
Our social services do a tremendous job of bringing positive change to our most deserving individuals and communities. These organisations are built by volunteers and community workers who dedicate their lives to helping others.
Social service workers can see the positive impact of their work. Children thriving, families united, jobseekers in new employment and people empowered to change their life course.
With more tools they could do more good. I want to help them by finding ways to make sure that effort is recognised, results are measurable and they can make decisions about how to do more good.
ImpactLab grew from a desire to make available to community organisations tools that use the power of public information and the latest technology, so these organisations can change more lives.
By measuring social change and positive outcomes, ImpactLab enables charities and social service providers to speak the language of funders, investors and governments.
It has been a pleasure to work with Family Help Trust to learn how this organisation changes lives throughout Christchurch, New Zealand.
Calculating social value helps inform decision making and investment and enables you to do good, better.
