Help support The Loft by signing the petition
The Loft’s Social Emergency Response Service is under threat of closure due to a loss of funding from the Ministry of Social Development. Closure would be devastating for individuals and families who rely on this support, leaving our community without a lifeline during its most vulnerable moments. Please sign the petition and show your support for this important service.
The Loft, which is based upstairs at Eastgate Mall, accommodates sixteen social service agencies, housing a wealth of information and expertise that they are eager to share and promote with in the sector.
Our CAB volunteers are there every Tuesday from 11am-2pm. We can usually be found in the library next to our big yellow flag if you want to talk to us. We also have a room in the Loft if you want to talk in confidence. No appointment needed.
See ‘Read More’ for the link to the petition and to find out more about the wide range of services it provides.
