Oral historians Ruth Greenaway and Megan Hutching have published a book called "Threads of caring - A history of the Anglican Trust for Women and Children" and during this event, they will talk about the history of this storied Auckland organisation which began with an orphan home in the central city 1858 and now works with its community in south Auckland.
While society has undeniably changed since the middle of the nineteenth-century, the problems of today’s clients bear a marked resemblance to the issues confronting those who came for help in the early days – lack of housing, an inability to keep a family together, the experience – by women in particular – of abuse or neglect as children or adults.
