We are making a difference...

"This Trust is a valuable resource for some of our South Otago clients who are not in a financial position to access the basic health services they need." 

"We have used the trust to assist families with Doctor's appointments, pharmacy prescriptions and limited counselling sessions.  Accessing these services has increased the families' health and wellbeing, and reduced some of their stress."

"My health has improved since I had a SOHST funding for wood to provide cooking and heating."

"Because I got a SOHST funding for an eye test, I realised my new glasses have to be three times stronger than they were previously. I can see!"

"Without SOHST funding for pool physio rehab I would not have been able to afford going to the pool resulting in a better and quicker return to health."

"I needed to go to my GP but had no money so didn’t go. I was visited by someone who gave me a SOHST voucher and took me to my GP. I was given strong medication which kept me out of hospital."
