Canterbury Local community resources

Across Aotearoa, people are working to make their communities vibrant and connected. There are many grass-roots groups created for the needs of people living in the community, offering you the opportunity to participate in social activities and connect with others.

You may use some of these services already, like libraries or council facilities. Kaumātua services, such as traditional practices and whanau health hui, are available nationwide, along with culture-led programmes that support cultural and social needs.

These services, often run by volunteers, are a great source of support and information that will help make life at home easier for you. You might even want to volunteer yourself—visit local services to see how you can contribute and connect with others.
