Home Share for Her

Home Share for Her A not-for-profit organisation that aims to help women connect and find homes in Nelson Tasman. We’re a free service, made possible through grants and donations.

When I first had the idea for HERstory, I had no idea what it would become.

It was simply one idea. One show. One brave step.

A belief that ordinary people sharing extraordinary stories could make others feel less alone.

Fast-forward to today, and we're about to hold our sixth HERstory.
It's become a much-loved Nelson event, and this year, incredibly, we're almost sold out. (and we still have five weeks to go)

Thank you, so so much.
Thank you to every speaker who has bravely shared their story.
Thank you to every audience member who has bought a ticket,
laughed, cried, applauded and left carrying a little more hope.

But when the theatre lights go down, the stories don't stop.
Every day, right here in Nelson, someone walks through the doors of the Nelson Women's Centre carrying a story they never imagined they'd be living.

The Women's Centre quietly meets those stories with kindness, practical support and hope.

HERstory gives people a voice.
The Nelson Women's Centre helps people find the strength to write their next chapter.

This year, I'd love to give something back.

If HERstory has ever touched your heart, if you've ever left the theatre feeling less alone, I'd love you to consider donating through the Nelson Women's Centre Givealittle page.

Whether it's the price of a coffee or something more, every donation helps ensure someone else has somewhere safe to turn when they need it most.

Because stories don't just inspire us.
Sometimes they change a life.
Let's keep the story going.
❤️
Click here and donate today; even $10 is a huge help.

(Mention HERSTORY so that we can honour you and the show.)

The Curtain Bank is on a mission to ensure local homes have effective curtains to keep homes warmer in winter.

Started by Claire McKenzie (pictured) and a small team of dedicated volunteers in 2024, the Curtain Bank collects donations of good-quality second-hand curtains and tracks. The team then sorts, cuts, and sews these to fit in homes referred by health and social service agencies.

With support from Tasman District Council, the Curtain Bank has recently moved into new premises at the Hope Domain.

The team is looking for volunteers to help with collecting, sorting, measuring, cutting and sewing donated curtains, and updating their social media – no prior experience required.

They meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10.00 am – 3.00 pm. If you’d like to lend a hand, contact Claire at [email protected].

Curtains and home insulation go hand in hand – if you have one but not the other, you’re likely to have a cold home.

The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority and Warmer Healthier Homes Te Tauihu Charitable Trust provide grants for home insulation and heaters to properties that meet specific criteria.

You may qualify for a grant to cover the costs of installing insulation and/or a heat pump if you own your own home, it was built before 2008, and you have a community services card OR live in a lower-income area.

Contact Absolute Energy to find out if you qualify for a grant on 0800 423 454.

Are you a Woman living in Nelson/Tasman who is struggling with the cost of living by yourself? Or do you have a spare room and would be open to sharing your home with another woman? Winter is a difficult time of year for many, especially women who are living solo.

Perhaps it is time to try something different. Our website might be just what you are looking for! www.homeshareforher.nz is a place where women can connect with other women who would like to share a home. Whether you are an 18+ student looking for somewhere affordable, or 75+ and wanting some company, Home share for Her is open to a wide range of ages.

Currently our website has 39 Home seekers and 40 homes offered to share. We do not match women ourselves, that is up to the Home seekers and Homeowners to get to know each other and see if they are compatible to share a home. This is a free to use site which also has some great resources to look through for guidance on how to make your profile and what sort of questions to ask. Think of it like a dating site but for sharing a home instead!
