Loneliness NZ is a newly formed Trust with limited resources. Whilst the website describes services Loneliness NZ aims to provide, Loneliness NZ is not making any commitment that it will be able to deliver these services.
If our current resources are insufficient to help you right now, we will let you know; and will keep in touch to let you know when we can help you.
Whilst we like to help everyone in need, if we believe our services are not the right ones for you then we will let you know. Whilst we describe the services Loneliness NZ aims to provide on the website, there is no commitment on our part to deliver those services if we do not believe it is in your or our interest.
Whilst Loneliness NZ is a Trust, it relies on grants, donations, other sources of funding, and user fees to operate. As a newly formed Trust, Loneliness NZ does not yet have any external sources of funding. As a consequence, for now, there will be fees chargeable to users for our services.
