the liz soper foundation of care

The Liz Soper Foundation of Care has been established by her family in honour (and awe) of how she has lived her life: On a foundation of care.

The Foundation aims to hero Liz’s life’s work through enabling recreational activities for adults living with complex disabilities. Government funding covers every-day-care necessities (often just!) for these individuals.  It’s difficult, and for most impossible, to find the budget for the ‘extra-curricular’ (or as we like to call it extra-careicular) activities.

Learn more about why we are need by watching the short video below.

Testimonials (Our Foundation)

“

Care should be Liz’s middle name! She is one of the most selfless people I know and over the years has welcomed us and countless others into her family with open arms. There is always room at Liz’s table and even more so in Liz’s heart.

Helen Kilding, Takapuna

“

Liz has given many opportunities to grow in the company [Creative Abilities] starting as a Caregiver to where I am now today part of the Senior Leadership Team. Liz has taught me many skills over the years, she has taught me to look inside myself, be confident and she has shown me a way to support people like no other person has.

Christina Vaingalo, North Shore

Liz is an incredible woman who has done an amazing job of making life a whole lot better for so many disadvantaged young people.

Rhonda Clarke, a Grateful Parent, Auckand

“

Liz is not only a great professional but a wonderful human being. Despite being an entrepreneur in her own right, money-making has never been her priority. Liz is one of those rare species of true social workers for whom the welfare of some of the most vulnerable members of our society takes precedence over everything else.

Dr Hemant Thakkar, North Shore

“

I have known Liz since I was 4 or 5 when she would take me swimming every Sunday night. I think she is very caring and she is helpful and she is wonderful and she is loving. She was always there was always for my family too. I think as clients we never forget Liz is the best.

Maxine Morgan, North Shore
