Wesley Community Action (WCA) was formed as the
social services arm of Wesley Wellington Parish. A Social Services Trust Board
was established in 1949 when Mr & Mrs WT Strand donated a 150 acre property
at Naenae for an eventide settlement.
Today WCA provides a range of
residential and community based services for young people, families and the
elderly.
The WCA Office is located at:
7th Floor, Siemens House, 57 Courtenay Place
P O Box 9932, Te Aro, Wellington

The Downtown Community Ministry provides an
ecumenical ministry to the city on behalf of St Peter’s Anglican, Wellington Society of Friends, St John’s Presbyterian, St Joseph’s
Roman Catholic, Wesley Methodist and St Andrews on the Terrace
Presbyterian Churches.
Since DCM was formed in 1969, it has acted as
a catalyst for a number of community initiatives which have then continued in
their own right. DCM also has a significant advocacy role in the city.
