People: Auckland's Capital - connecting with the city's homeless and vulnerable

Capital Foundation is an organisation set up to raise corporate funding for Auckland City Mission – a charity working with homeless people in Auckland NZ. The typical donation that they handle starts at $150,000 upwards.

They approached Simon Inc with a brief to design a gift for their donors. The gift was to say “thank you” from Capital Foundation, but also was to be something that the donors could then show to their stakeholders to show them where the funds had been used and why they thought it was a worthwhile charity to support.

Our solution was to commission documentary photographer Serena Stevenson to spend two weeks within the mission itself, meeting the people who use it as well as the staff and volunteers. She documented what she saw in a remarkable, sensitive and empathetic series of photographs which really reflect the warmth of the relationships between the homeless people and the Mission staff and volunteers.
