We believe that people can make positive life changes when given the tools they need.
Pathway was founded to provide those tools.
The Pathway story began in 1997, with three guys, a shared belief and a clever idea.
The belief is that people can make positive life changes when given the tools they need and the clever idea was to establish a business that would fund these tools. More than two decades on, Pathway Charitable Group is creating profound social change.
Whether it’s our unique prisoner reintegration programme at Christchurch Men’s Prison, the Navigate Initiative; our residential drug and alcohol programme, He Kete Oranga o te Mana Wāhine; our community housing provider, Pathway Affordable Housing; or our social enterprises, Alloyfold, Oak Tree Devanning and New Zealand International Basketball Tours (NZIBT), it’s life changing work. But it’s not just life changing for those we work with.
By working with some of our community’s marginalised groups, we are helping to break the intra-family cycle of poverty, violence and criminal activities, and helping to make the Christchurch community a stronger and safer place for everyone. Our work continues to be partly funded by the work of our three social enterprises.

Matiu shares some personal reflections on the power of transformation.
I have been reflecting over the last few days about my journey from childhood trauma, drugs, violence and prison, to where I am now as a father and community leader working within the prison space to help men like myself. I’ve also been thinking about what a privilege it is to work for Pathway and the amazing job it does.
