Funding cuts are forcing Christchurch's Citizens Advice Bureau to consider scaling back its services.

Three years ago the Christchurch City Council funded about 35 percent of its annual budget, however that funding is now half of what it once was. The organisation aimed to help people with a range of issues, including legal problems, employment issues, family disputes and tenancy concerns. The council itself refers people to the service.

Bureau chairperson Neil Lancaster said if funding cuts continued, the organisation would have to scale back its programmes.

"We appreciate the funding restraints that exist for the Christchurch City Council at the moment," he said.

"But I guess our worry is that on one hand they class us a priority one community group, but at the same time they have halved our funding.

The organisation wanted to expand in the city's east, but that might not be possible.

They operated a "face-to-face" service in Eastgate Mall, as part of a group of similar community groups, and could now only afford to be there once a week.

"If our funding had stayed the same, we could be looking at offering a service there three days a week," he said.

There was strong demand for the bureau's service in the city's east, Mr Lancaster said.

"Sometimes we would go along there about half an hour before we start and there could be two or three people waiting."

RNZ News has approached the Christchurch City Council for comment.

Some Christchurch residents might be drinking what is effectively swimming pool water.

Do you think it's fair for restaurants to ban children?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Akaroa's The Little Bistro owner Richard Uttley has no regrets over banning children under 10.

He's actually had the policy for nearly three years, but it was only noticed in a big way at the weekend when a woman complained about being turned away.

Do you need a health coach?

A health coach is someone who educates and supports clients to achieve their health goals through lifestyle and behaviour adjustments.

I currently have spaces available and am looking for new clients. You can choose to work with me for 3 or 6 months and we catch up fortnightly. We set goals that are specific to you and work towards achieving those over the time frame you choose. It does take time to make sustainable changes which is why the programmes I offer are for that length of time.

* You may want to loose some weight for next summer and keep the weight off. How many people have dieted and then have piled the weight back on after the diet has finished?

* You may want to learn how to cook more nutritiously and include more vegetables into your diet.

* You may just want to know how to cook quick and nutritious meals to cut down on the amount of processed food you consume.

* You may want to know what to do to avoid the chocolate snack or sugary treat at the 3pm slump.

* You may be constantly tired and are not sure what to do about it.

* You may want to exercise more but don't know where to start. I can help you work out what types of exercise are right for you and can help you to work out where you can slot exercise into your day.

* You may not be sleeping well and don't know why.

* You may just want to get out and meet more people and make new friends but don't know where to start.

* You may just want someone to talk to who can empathise and listen.

Doctors are great for diagnosing and treating the symptoms of the issue.

Health coaches work to find out the real root cause of the issue and work with you to treat that which will then affect the symptoms. They usually spend a lot longer with you and tailor make programmes that suit you, beautiful you.

Appointment times to suit you......initial health history is complimentary.
