Similar to organisations already in existence in Wellington, Waikato, Otago and Christchurch, the Whanganui Welfare Guardian Trust will be a charitable trust to recruit, approve, train, support and allocate clients to community volunteers, who can apply to the Court to be Welfare Guardians for people who lack the capacity to make or communicate decisions for themselves.
