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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
