Hope Rising Farm Charitable Trust

Hope Rising Farm Charitable Trust is based on a small farm in Ngaruawahia. Our mission is to empower tamariki, rangatahi, and the most vulnerable in our community by fostering hope and equipping them with essential life skills. Through mentoring alongside horses and farm experiences, participants build trust, self-confidence, and interpersonal skills in a supportive and fun environment. Our goal is to enable them to positively impact their lives, families, and communities, creating a ripple effect that enhances schools, workplaces, and society, leading to a thriving community.

Programme details


Overview

Our wellbeing programmes are run in a farm environment, using horse activities, farm experience and mentoring. All participants are partnered with a ‘buddy’ (mentor) and an equine, for 2 hours over 10 weeks during term time. No prior horse experience is required. Activities will vary depending on the skills required for each individual.
