Hundreds of thousands of adults in Aotearoa experience chronic loneliness and social disconnection. Many are not in crisis, but they’re not fully okay either - and often fall through the cracks of existing support services.
Human Time is a new social idea based in Ruapehu/Whanganui that plans to offer meaningful one-on-one time with a supportive person. It’s not counselling or therapy, but simply being there with you - talking, walking, doing activities together, or just sharing time in a way that helps people feel seen, valued, and connected.
We are exploring the need and feasibility of Human Time in our community. Your answers will help us understand
- Who might benefit most from this service
- What kinds of activities people would like
- What would make it safe, accessible, and valuable
- How affordable the service should be
Your responses are anonymous - except for email to notify winner of the $50 New World voucher if you choose to enter. This form should take 5–10 minutes to complete.
Thank you for helping us shape Human Time - a service designed to bring more connection, dignity, and presence into people’s lives.
