The east side of Christchurch has taken some hard blows this past earthquake season and the Canterbury Men’s Centre recognised a community need to talk about rebuilding our homes. With this in mind we are partnering with MensLine (http://mensline.net.nz/ ) to run a fortnightly group.

Want to learn from others what they are doing about insurance payouts? Who people are using for repairs? What should you be doing to make the most of the situation? And mostly, how to keep sane while the process is going on?

Where: St Faiths Church Hall, Hawke St., New Brighton, St Faiths Hall

The staff of the Canterbury Men’s Centre were out of the office at 141 Hereford Street when the 22 February aftershock struck. We are all safe.

Our office is inside the Christchurch CDB cordon and are unable to provide a full service until we gain access. We think that might be mid to late March. We are available by telephone – ring our Office number or Donald on his cellphone.

Our deep concern goes to you all, especially to those who have lost loved ones. Look after yourselves and each other – let people know if you need help.
