Literacy

Literacy We are supportive of men and families who wish to receive literacy support. Where men are required, for instance, to complete forms for government agencies such as WINZ, we will help so that families do not have their rights to receiving a benefit removed. We actively support the Helensville Literacy Volunteer organisation as part of the Trust, providing free one-on-one tailored programs to help reading, writing, comprehension and confident speaking.
