Dingwall Trust is a Child, Youth and Family approved support service based in Papatoetoe, Auckland, New Zealand. The Trust is a multi-programme agency that provides care for children and young people referred there by private families and government agencies and works with families in their own homes. It also operates residential homes where caregivers provide day-to-day supervision and support.

Its facilities in Papatoetoe are located on an approximately 8-hectare site.

History

The Dingwall Trust School opened in 1996, having operated as a home schooling unit from October 1993, with Anne Stevens as head teacher.

In March 2005, the organisation celebrated its 75th anniversary.
