Mai Lighthouse
Mai Lighthouse originated as the Family Support Centre in Pukekohe, established in 1979 following a community survey. In 2008, we became Franklin Family Support Trust, reflecting our growth and evolving mission. In 2025, we rebranded as Mai Lighthouse, embracing a new chapter in our journey.
We offer a wide range of supports to help you and your whānau, and if we can’t help you ourselves we will reach out to find other community groups who can.
Our scope of work currently covers social work, counselling, parenting, budgeting and financial capability, and a transport service. You can learn more about each service in our menu at the top.
Our two offices are based in Pukekohe and Tuakau. In our Tuakau office at 5 George Street we have an Op Shop with good quality clothing for all ages.
We are fortunate to hold the Heartlands MSD contract for our area which enables us to host a range of Government agencies at our hub in Pukekohe. This includes a regular Justice of the Peace (JP) service three mornings a week.
Our community hub is able to be hired by community groups and currently hosts ‘Getting Smoke Free’ (Smoking Cessation) and Emerge Aotearoa groups.
We have free 15-minute lawyer appointments each week as well as Community Law appointments available once a month.
