The Aunties is a South-Auckland, New Zealand-based charity helping vulnerable women and children who have experienced domestic violence.
[1] Founded in 2013 by Jackie Clark, the group aims to provide material help and pastoral care in the spirit of manaakitanga.
[1] The Aunties, through Clark's influence, emphasise charity donations being high quality rather than cast-offs, and should not include basic items like tinned tomatoes, considering that their charges should be gifted what they require and deserve, rather than be given a message that they should be grateful to receive second-hand cast-offs when under stress and in need.
[5][6] Clark received the Queen Service Medal[6] and the Supreme Award at the Women of Influence Awards for her work in creating and operating The Aunties.
