About Oceanwood Creative Trust
Registered charity in New Zealand
Oceanwood Creative Trust dedicat to safeguarding the emotional wellbeing and dignity of our older generations.
We believe that no matter how quiet a life may seem, it holds stories that deserve a moment of stillness—to be heard, honoured, and remembered. Through gentle storytelling and creative documentation, we facilitate a space of genuine respect, where individuals feel truly seen, hear, and valued.
Our work is rooted in ethical care and emotional safety. We don’t aim to disrupt; instead, we offer thoughtful, human-scale initiatives designed to complement existing wellbeing and care environments.
At Oceanwood, we believe that every life is a legacy of inherent dignity — and honouring that essence is the heart of everything we do.
Our Approach
Our approach is guided by quiet intention and professional rigour.
We collaborate with communities and partners to deliver programmes that are voluntary, consent-based, and intentionally non-clinical. We prioritize depth over scale, creating experiences that are safe, meaningful, and fundamentally human.
While our touch is gentle, our foundation is firm. As a registered charitable trust, Oceanwood operates within a robust framework of ethical governance and professional integrity. We ensure transparency and accountability in our practices, providing a secure environment for the stories and trust placed in our care.
At the heart of Oceanwood is a commitment to honouring lived experience—preserving narratives with a steady hand and nurturing the invisible threads that connect one generation to the next.
