Introducing PILLARS
Supporting children of prisoners to live a safe, crime free life
The PILLARS programme is a concerted effort to significantly reduce the crime rate in New Zealand - for good! Research shows that children of prisoners are 6 - 7 times more likely to end up in prison than any other child. We believe that if every prisoner's child in New Zealand is matched with a pro-social mentor, we could significantly cut the crime rate in 10 years.   

Our Mission

"To work towards a crime-free society by providing support servicboy.jpges to  youth and children of prisoners and their families / whanau, aimed at breaking the cycle of intergenerational offending and lowering the rate of imprisonment."

Our Objectives 
  • To be a national voice for children of prisoners, representing their views and directly influencing policy and legislation.
  • To provide innovative best practice models of support for children of prisoners to break the cycle of intergenerational offending.
  • To raise awareness of issues affecting children of prisoners.

PILLARS provide a free non-judgmental and confidential service. As we rely on financial support to provide our services, a koha / donation is appreciated.



PILLARS is a registered charitable entity under the Charities Act 2005, Registration Number: CC23953, and all donations over $5 qualify for a tax rebate.
