ABOUT US

Waltham Community Cottage is a registered charitable trust operating from a Christchurch City Council owned property. Community members refer to us as 'a big functional family.'

Our mission statement 'a vibrant place of hope and connection, standing tall, reaching all," is an extension of our focus on well-being. When well-being is experienced, people begin to thrive and create their own opportunities.  We support people's well-being in our open, safe and friendly environment.

The Cottage provides:
A safe place for the  community to share resources, develop friendships, access friendly, professional staff for advocacy, coaching, guidance and referrals. To alleviate loneliness, isolation and grow confidence, self-sufficiency and empowerment.
​

Opportunities - to participate in small groups such as Ukulele, Falls Prevention, after school programmes and weekly community lunches.
Who funds the Cottage?
Organisations, companies and individuals contribute financially or by donating expertise, goods or services. We are very fortunate to receive invaluable funding from the following organisations. With their support we are able to cover the day-to-day running costs of the Cottage.
