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.
