Porirua Healthy Safer City Trust
Who are we?
Porirua Healthy Safer City Trust is your local Safer Community Council.
What do we do?
Provide a safe and healthy environment for all citizens in a spirit of co-operation which enables change to occur constructively.
The Trust has two focus areas:
1. Healthy Cities – a project of the World Health Organisation established in the early 1980’s. Healthy Cities is health in a broad holistic sense.
2. Safer Cities – the Trust facilitates appropriate community responses to specific crime concerns such as graffiti and vandalism, car crime, violence and safer streets.
How can we help you?
