WesleyCare staff put their creativity and compassion to good use during the Covid lockdown, when family and friends were unable to visit residents.
"It can seem to them that they’re not coping and that everyone else does amazingly but once you have that space to listen to other people being vulnerable, a weight is lifted off your shoulder knowing you’re not the only one”
Sustaining Tenancies is a homelessness prevention service that CMM has provided since October last year, funded by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
The Government is to offer Mana Ake to schools in five other regions, in recognition of the success of the programme in Canterbury and Kaikōura.
A bright new mural outside CMM’s Aratupu Preschool & Whānau Hub reflects the natural history of the area and brings a much-needed splash of colour to a stretch of Harewood Road.
Philanthropic organisations provide a substantial and welcomed portion of funding of CMM programmes.
As such, CMM would like to recognise the significant support provided by the Tindall Foundation over the years, without which one major CMM programme would not be run.
