Fusion Trust’s objects include assisting individuals to learn appropriate skills and behaviour to exist harmoniously in the community and to assist them to realise their potentials to be worthy citizens contributing to the community. The trust has been incorporated as a Board pursuant to the Charitable Trusts Act 1957.

Recent projects have included assisting tidy the historic Woolston Cemetery, graffiti busting, running a variety of programs in Canterbury’s three prisons, and many road safety initiatives, often in conjunction with Road Safety New Zealand.

The Trust has for some time run Street Talk courses. These are aimed at instilling good attitudes in new drivers and help them develop potentially life saving hazard identification and response skills.
