Working from a community development centred approach the Bishop’s Action Foundation was established as a charitable trust to create and support initiatives that meet the unanswered needs of communities within the Taranaki region. They are driven by the goal to enhance the social, spiritual, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the region.
"Voluntary and community organisations are fundamental to society because they are major stakeholders in building social capital that underpins healthy and well functioning communities"
“As a capacity builder within the region, we welcome the arrival of Techsoup in New Zealand; it has made a significant difference for our ICT capability and is great news for groups within our region too.”
Simon Cayley, CEO, Bishop’s Action Foundation
