who we are
Find out who we are and what were about
Established on 28 July 2016, Alliance Community Initiatives Trust (ACIT) is a New Zealand charitable trust operating out of Manukau City in South Auckland. The organisation is focused on being a catalyst for social change for families in challenging and persistent situations. We are not a service delivery provider but do work closely with those organisations who offer front line services. The work of ACIT is targeted further upstream, working across the systems which influence the social and economic determinants of health and wellbeing.
