This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Social housing is returning to the east of Christchurch for the first time since the Canterbury earthquakes, with 19 new homes providing relief to residents in need.

The Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (ŌCHT) housing complex will be officially opened at a ceremony on Friday morning.

It's called Reg Stillwell Pl and is on Palmers Rd in New Brighton.

The complex includes 12 relocatable homes that were transported from Linwood Park in August. They have been refurbished as two, three and four-bedroom homes. Meanwhile, a community hall already on site is now a three-bedroom home, and a further six bedsits have been redeveloped into one-bedroom homes.

Some of the residents who will live at the complex are returnees; people who lived in the pre-refurbished homes, and wanted to come back after the work was completed.
