Hohepa New Homes on Barrington St
Hi neighbours, we thought you might enjoy hearing some good news from the Hohepa Canterbury community.
We are excited that our fundraising campaign to build two new homes for the people we support with intellectual disability is now half-way to our target of $2.2 million! We are absolutely thrilled to announce an incredible gift of $500,000 from local Christchurch-based trust, the Lamar Charitable Trust.
Lamar Charitable Trust has a mission to provide financial support for disability organisations in need. This is truly a life-changing gift to our community. We look forward to building the two new homes, and welcoming a further 12 people with intellectual disability to join our Hohepa community, which will help reduce our current waiting list.
With the challenges we have all been facing, in adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is testament to the good in the world. Please share to spread the good news!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
30.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
69.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
