Addington Community House Incorporated is a Community Development Led Centre providing a space for the community to gather. It exists so that the people in Addington and those who participate in the activities, groups, and projects are socially connected, engaged, encouraged to participate and develop self-determination, help overcome barriers such as isolation, loneliness, prejudice, and are empowered in their own local environment. This is achieved through using the Community Development model of practice to maintain and protect an inclusive and active community, and in particular for some of the marginalised, vulnerable and fragile people to the extent that justifies the full use of the Christchurch City Council, Government and Charitable funding that are made available to us.
