Funding people in need in Canterbury

Such a great trust to deal with


“Our therapists access funding from Hyman Marks for things like children’s sensory garments and blankets, etc. They’re generally not big-ticket items and they fund anywhere up $1,000, but we’re so very grateful to have access to this funding. We’ve never had a claim turned down, Hyman Marks is such a great trust to deal with.”

— Bridget Head. CDHB

Jackie makes it such a painless process


“We access funding from Hyman Marks Trust for our families, usually for firewood during winter. The claim process is straightforward and all the team are easy to deal with, I love their work. Jackie’s just great, I send her a support letter and quotes and she always provides prompt communication. I’m truly grateful for any support that we get for families and Jackie makes it such a painless process, I highly recommend her.”

— Penny Stewart, CCS

So very grateful for their generosity in our time of need


“Hyman Marks Trust came to us and gave us a $5,000 donation towards canned food straight to our bank account. We didn’t even know of them or who they were at the time, they just turned up and deposited the funds, no questions asked! Being a foodbank we rely solely on the goodness of others, everything is 100% donated, so we were so very grateful for their generosity in our time of need. It’s so amazing what they’ve provided for us.”

— Nicky Bensemann, 0800Hungry

So responsive, they come back to us really quickly


“Over the last 4 years we’ve received financial assistance from Hyman Marks Trust for our patients, usually helping to cover their large electricity bills. The trust has always been so responsive and come back to us really quickly which is such a huge help. I send regular emails to Jackie thanking them for their support on behalf of our families, I like to let Jackie know the real difference she’s making to their lives. Jackie’s great and the trust is an amazing resource for us. I can’t speak more highly enough of them and they’ve just been amazing to deal with.”

— Di Greaves, Cancer Services

Provided long-term support for a range of health concerns


“We have been utilising the services of Hyman Marks Trust for over 15 years and have been extremely satisfied with the support they provide for a range of health concerns, particularly for children who are bed wetting. Their range of products, including bed protection, mattress replacement and personal monitors, have been a lifesaver for our vulnerable families who have limited financial means. We cannot thank them enough for the assistance they have provided to our families and whanau over the years.”

— Nicky Brewer, Charge Nurse Manager, Waitaha Canterbur
