Presbyterian Support delivers a full range of social services throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand, through its Family Works division. The Family Works Buddy Programme supports children's and young people's emotional and social well-being by matching them with carefully selected and trained volunteers in well-supported, meaningful friendships.

Each buddy relationship is unique, built on shared interests, personality, and individual needs, with a strong focus on creating the right match. Young buddies benefit from consistent, positive adult support, encouragement to develop healthy interests and behaviours, time out from responsibilities, and fun, constructive experiences in their community—all while learning to make positive life choices.
