The Cancer Society of New Zealand Manawatu Centre Incorporated is a dedicated health sector charity based in Palmerston North. Our core mission is to improve community well-being by reducing both the incidence and impact of cancer across the Manawatu, Tararua, and Horowhenua districts.

We achieve this by offering an array of free, holistic Supportive Care services directly to cancer patients and their whānau. These community-funded services include volunteer driving and treatment shuttles, accommodation support, massage therapy, support groups, and educational workshops like Living Well and Financial Hauora. Additionally, we actively engage the community through targeted Health Promotion activities to prevent cancer and raise awareness, alongside contributing toward nationwide Cancer Research funding. We proudly serve diverse beneficiaries, including children, families, older people, and individuals experiencing health disabilities.
