Our wish list is ...
- one office (open 9-3 Mon- Fri with 2 of our volunteers)
- a private space to meet clients
- located near public transport
- located near/with other community organisations

As a charity we can't afford flash offices in town (or even normal commercial rates) but if you are a local community group or business owner that has a spare office we can rent then please get in touch.

If you know of a suitable space please contact us at manager.cabchch@gmail.com

Things have changed a lot in my life: I realised I was the problem and I stopped blaming others.
Living in addiction, I used to see things as very black and white. I had set opinions about things and about who was right and who was wrong. Back when I was trying to fix myself and doing a lot of personal growth courses, I spoke with my husband and asked him, what my defects of character were. He said, “You think you are always right.”

City assets for sale at a roll of the dice

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Hi Neighbours,
The meandering Avon River could be all yours, ducks and all. Or you could earn your fortune building a row of hotels on Hagley Park. Perhaps you’d rather take a chance at the casino, or buy up Christchurch Airport so you can park for free.

Hi Neighbours,
The meandering Avon River could be all yours, ducks and all. Or you could earn your fortune building a row of hotels on Hagley Park. Perhaps you’d rather take a chance at the casino, or buy up Christchurch Airport so you can park for free.

But this is not any asset sell-up the city council might be considering.
This is just for fun.

The well-known Christchurch spots are among those displayed on the city's very own colourful version of Monopoly, launched on Wednesday, in plenty of time for Christmas shopping.

Read the full story by reporter Liz McDonald here (subscription required) and tell us in the comments below if you agree with the Christchurch picks or what places you'd prefer to see on the board.

We were walking our dog as usual at coes ford today when a man who has set up camp by the gate approached us and threatened us to leave or else! Very scary as this is usually a peaceful camp and walking site. We reported him to the council and they are going to get a ranger to take a look. If I don’t hear back from the council I will talk to Lincoln police. I certainly won’t go there again if he is still camping there. It was an awful experience!
