Addington Timebank
Are you interested in getting a bit more involved in your community but perhaps feeling a bit short of time and unable to commit to regular voluntary work?
Are you already quite involved in your community and keep noticing that there are things that you would like to get done around your house that you never seem to have time for?
Does your community group need a few more volunteers or want to keep track of volunteer time?
Do you need help from time to time but are not sure there is anyone you can ask?
If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes” then Timebanking might be able to help.
At Addington Timebank we aim to recognise the work that many people put into their community and community organisations. People recognise and thank others for the help they have been given by recording time credits. If you are interested in finding out more check out our website below or phone Chrys on 0272 86 86 53. We are happy to come and talk to you about how the Timebank works and how it could work for you or your organisation!

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?
