Our Story
Who we are
Christchurch Budget Service Trust is a Charitable Trust that has been helping people in the wider Christchurch area to improve their financial wellbeing. Originally formed in 1967 as an incorporated society with the objective of enabling clients to learn how to manage their money more effectively. With increasing financial complexity we moved from using volunteer financial mentors to now having full time paid staff.
Our Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees who volunteer their time to guide the organisation by making strategic decisions to ensure that the Christchurch Budget Service meets the financial well being goals of our targeted Christchurch wide communities and that we are responsive and interact with those communities.
Our Trust chair is appointed annually and provides the principle roll in managing the organisation and following our down sizing. Any administrative contact should be made with the current trust chair murrayspackman@xtra.co.nz
