Who We Are - The Loft Christchurch
Hi there! We are The Loft, a collaboration of social, community and health services all under one roof. We offer a holistic approach to people’s well being through a shared assessment, referral and support system. Through one brand and one welcoming front door people can access multiple support options. The intention is to remove the structural barriers to services and supports that maintain social inequalities. Working collaboratively and living together under one roof means we can break down the silos between social services and share knowledge and data in order to be more effective for the people who need us most.
We are located on the first floor of Eastgate Shopping Center in Linwood, Christchurch and open Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm. We welcome walk-in's for anyone who may need assistance.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
