ABOUT US

communitytrust - Community Serving Community

CrossNet is a network of community minded people in East Auckland and has become an important Community Hub for those committed to building community by supporting each other, using their abilities and resources. CrossNet links people with each other and creates communities of like minded people with common goals. We have been supporting our community through our programmes for over 25 years. Our programmes were originally operated under The Sowers' Trust but a re-organisation in 2015 resulted in the formation of CrossNet, enabling us to focus fully on community led initiatives. The trust has no formal link to a church, school or any other organisation, but works closely with many community groups.
