180 Degrees Trust is a charitable Trust Established in 2007 by Jeremy Nurse and colleagues and is managed by a Board of Trustees who are passionate about improving outcomes for the youth of Canterbury.
To positively impact the lives of young people facing educational challenges, empower them to make wise decisions, foster pro-social behaviour, encourage personal growth, and inspire motivation. Through the establishment of meaningful connections with these individuals and leveraging the transformative power of the high country, we catalyse a remarkable transformation, nurturing a positive trajectory in their lives.
