Welcome to Women’s Support Motueka

Striving for women and their families
to be safe, well and empowered.

We supported over 400 women in the last year!

We are a specialised family harm and domestic violence service. We also provide support and advocacy for any concern impacting women.

What We Do

Support & Advocacy

You are welcome to drop in, phone or email us for free support, information and advocacy on any issue.

Community Engagement

We work with our community to prevent family violence and promote healthy relationships

“Today, I continue learning to love myself day after day, to accept myself, it has been difficult! But I know I can because I have the strength inside me and my own divine self that guides me. I have freed myself and become stronger, found my voice and sparked my own transformation.”

Dominique – former WSM client

An Evening with Women’s Support Motueka – Gala, Art Auction & Dinner

One Night. One Cause. Lasting Impact.

Women’s Support Motueka has been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community following its second annual Gala, held at the Motueka Memorial Hall on Saturday 12 September.

The evening brought together 97 guests and raised an incredible $15,000 to support the organisation’s specialised services for wāhine and whānau in the Motueka and wider Tasman community.

A beautifully set long table with glasses, cutlery, and fresh flowers, ready for a warm, welcoming gala event or community gathering.
