Manchester Unity is a long-standing New Zealand membership organisation built around the simple but powerful philosophy of “Members helping Members.” With more than 180 years of history and over 11,000 members nationwide, Manchester Unity focuses on creating connection, support and practical benefits for Kiwi individuals and families. As a not-for-profit friendly society, their goal is to make everyday life more affordable, connected and enjoyable while fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
Manchester Unity offers members a wide range of benefits including affordable holiday homes throughout New Zealand, nationwide discounts, education awards and scholarships, social events, community projects and opportunities to build meaningful friendships and connections. Their local lodges and events create a welcoming environment where members can meet like-minded people, support one another and become part of a community that genuinely cares.
What makes Manchester Unity unique is its strong focus on people, community and giving back. Rather than operating for profit, the organisation reinvests into supporting its members and strengthening communities across New Zealand. With a proud history and a modern approach to connection and wellbeing, Manchester Unity continues to provide practical support, opportunities and a sense of belonging for generations of Kiwi families
