Fundraiser for youth affected by sexual harm
Please support our latest fundraiser so we can help more youth in Canterbury affected by sexual harm attending both The Cambridge Clinic or START.
Did you know from the statistics NZ Police released at Easter 2024 Canterbury has the highest rates for this in NZ in high schools and tertiary institutions. Youth can get free, confidential help 24/7 by calling The Cambridge Clinic on 03-3660 067.
We provide healing tote and toiletry bags to the youth that attend there. 80% of the items are beautifully handmade by volunteers. All items in the bags have been selected by the medical professionals to ensure they aid healing. We also have zero paid staff.
As funding has got harder and donations less from the general public due to the cost of living crisis we really need your support please.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
