Charity's new kitchen creates opportunities for Christchurch's vulnerable

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Happy Friday neighbours,

If you can’t handle the heat, get a new kitchen.

The Christchurch City Mission’s social enterprise, Thrive Catering, is relieved to have moved to a new state-of-the-art commercial kitchen as it continues to provide cooking classes and other essential lessons to Christchurch’s most vulnerable.

Thrive offers work experience courses for City Mission clients who are trying to get back on their feet. They are given valuable cooking lessons and other life skills to better their prospects for the future, when the mission no longer provides direct support for them.

The charity's Hereford St base kitchen had become too small, meaning course capacity was limited and many were missing out on learning vital skills.

Missing CAT - Northcote | Leander Street - Missing since Nov 10th

Dowana from Northcote

SID is still missing! Please check your sheds and around your property! Thank you 🙂 Sid has been missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote.
He snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.

We are desperate to get him home, his bonded kitty companion (Dizzy) has been found and is missing him terribly. Please keep a look out! Thank You! - If spotted please message me here.
