AROHA is what we do

At PSEC, we’re proud of our history of delivering quality social services, but recently we took this a step deeper by including the word aroha in our Mission statement and bringing even more meaning to our work. This wasn’t about adding a word or ticking a box; it was about recognising the compassion, care, deep concern, and empathy in our hearts. Aroha is in the middle of everything we do.

This decision was inspired by Glenn Marshall, who experienced our services through his son, Eamon. Eamon’s journey underscores the impact our team’s love and support has on the lives of those we serve. Glenn reminds us that people remember how you make them feel—and aroha aims to sum this up perfectly. Click here to read Eamon’s story.

A powerful example of aroha in action is our commitment to build the much-needed accessible Rowan Apartments. We’ve already supported disabled locals for over forty years, and now, with the backing of supporters like the Royston Health Trust, Enliven Disability is growing to support even more people to live a good life. Rowan Apartments is a symbol of our dedication to making every individual feel seen, heard, and valued no matter how complex their support needs.

Daily, our clients show us how every person adds value to our community. You’ll see stories in our PSEC Magazine Summer 2024 issue—from resilient youth and families overcoming today’s challenges, to disabled people breaking barriers, to our fun and lively older community members— each demonstrating that life is truly better when we are all thriving.

Today, I invite you to add value and give back. You can support our services to keep leading social change with courage, care, and aroha. Click here to donate or give a brick and help build a better life for everyone.
