Manawatu Rural Support Service

Manawatu Rural Support Service Incorporated has operated rural community support services in Manawatu District for more than 30 years. In June 2025, following a period of financial uncertainty and changes in circumstances on the Board, the incorporated society was wound up. 

To ensure that the valuable services are still available to those who need them, Rural Bus Manawatu Trust has taken over the operation of the service. 

Please reach out to Chairperson Aly Thompson if you need further information: aly@ruralbusmanawatu.org.nz 

To request support, contact Rural Community Worker Aevryl Jestin: mrssincrcw2@gmail.com (please note, this email address will be updated in the near future).
