Wellbeing Charitable Trust

Wellbeing Charitable Trust is an advocacy organisation grounded in lived experience and community connection.

The journey began with Eva’s own experience as a mother navigating life in a new country. Through connecting with many Chinese mothers who shared similar struggles, she realised that many families were unaware of the resources, services and support available to them. Driven by her own initiative and compassion for the community, Eva began advocating for newly arrived mothers trying to find their footing in a foreign land.

Since then, her work has continued to grow in response to the changing needs of minority communities. Over the years, the organisation has supported initiatives relating to Chinese parenting programmes, family harm, suicide prevention, postnatal depression, and issues affecting single mothers.

Today, the organisation continues to advocate for ethnic minority communities who are often overlooked or underserved within wider systems. This became especially visible during COVID-19 and in emergency responses across Auckland, where many communities experienced gaps in communication, access, and culturally appropriate support.

Under Eva’s leadership, the organisation now works alongside diverse ethnic communities, including Muslim, refugee-background and migrant communities. Alongside advocacy, the Trust also supports people through mentoring, pre-employment support, genuine community project coordination, and community capacity building.

Through its grassroots connections, Wellbeing Charitable Trust continues to play an important bridging role between communities and government agencies — helping ensure that the voices, realities and needs of communities are heard, understood and responded to with care and dignity.
