Christchurch

Christchurch City Mission

For a number of years, our Christchurch office has been proudly associated with the local City Mission and the work they do for the people of Christchurch. Along with financial sponsorship, staff have also had the opportunity to volunteer in their kitchens to prepare meals for the men’s night shelter clients. It’s been a great opportunity for staff to contribute, step outside of their comfort zone and also show their culinary skills. Christchurch are looking forward to continuing this relationship in 2019.
