Caughey Preston Trust

  • Auckland, New Zealand

Caughey Preston Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that is the legacy of philanthropist and pioneering businesswoman Marianne Caughey Preston MBE. Marianne established what became the Smith & Caughey business and was a leader in business and community, challenging prevailing beliefs about the role of women in the 19th century.

On her death in 1938, Marianne’s will established the Trust. For 67 years, the Trust provided residential accommodation and care for women who were aged, infirm, or experiencing financial hardship in Auckland.

In 2017, the Trust closed its facilities and the property was sold in 2020. CPT then undertook extensive research, strategic planning, and community engagement, including a co-design process with women who have lived experience.

CPT is now building an innovative, trauma and healing informed housing community for wāhine whai ora (women seeking wellbeing) – He Wāhi Rangimārie, meaning a place of peace and a safe haven for healing.
