Thinking of volunteering?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

Then why not come and join us at Citizens Advice Bureau at our Hornby branch (based at the Hornby Community Centre).

Volunteering is an amazing way to give back to the community but also to give you, as a volunteer, a great sense of achievement. We only ask for about half a day a week.

We have training starting soon and then you will be assigned a Mentor, who will help you through those first weeks.

If you think this might be you and you want more information then email manager.cabchch@gmail.com, who can also arrange an observation session if you want to sit in with us to see what we do.

Addictive Eaters Anonymous

The Team from Addictive Eaters Anonymous - Christchurch

Freed from my secret life

I came to my first meeting because my obsession with food was driving me crazy mentally, and because I was afraid I would not be able to stop putting on weight. I was embarrassed and angry about being there. I found the meetings very confronting and I only managed two, even though it had been suggested by a member to go to six. I stayed away for several months and then came back to stay, after more time of battling over and under eating and the obsession with food. I had already been in Alcoholics Anonymous eighteen months at that stage. After putting down alcohol and drugs, the food obsession became extreme.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
