The WISE family
We believe in valuing people and touching
their lives
The WISE Group is a family of ten charitable entities. We’re multiple businesses working together for a common dream. Our structure nurtures synergy and innovation, and means we’re transparent and accountable.
WISE Trust is the parent entity and single shareholder across the Group. Each organisation has its own governance board, and WISE Trust ensures a common direction and purpose between the individual organisations.
The link between all the entities goes beyond the mechanics of shared structures and business services. The link goes to the heart of our business – our desire to improve the lives of people who experience mental illness in New Zealand, every day, everywhere.
