Mission

The CCP exists to combat social isolation and loneliness faced by many adults across Christchurch. We do this by both providing direct services but also by partnering and collaborating with other services and organisatons to support the services they offer and ensure they are accessible to as many residents as possible. BEFRIENDING /SUPPORT Christchurch Angels is a short term provision aimed at empowering and helping build confidence for those struggling to connect with their community. Our Coordinator will carry out an initial assessment and then, with the client, formulate a plan. This may involve puting in a volunteer ‘angel’ for up to 12 weeks who will meet 1:1 with a client to visit, or perhaps connect them to a Lunch Club or other activity, depending on their needs and preferences. Helpful Neighbours provides a volunteer to do one off practical tasks, from changing a light bulb to helping with form filling, to enable clients to live independently for as long as they can. A small donaton is requested to cover our volunteers’ travel costs, or if more specialised support is needed. TRANSPORT Dial a Bus is a door to door transport service which offers a weekly shopping trip, transport to local Lunch or support groups, or trips or actvites, using our two fully accessible 14 seater minibuses. We are currently looking to support more Lunch Clubs to meet the nutritonal needs of those living alone, as well as providing an opportunity to build friendships and social networks. Neighbour Cars was originally set up to offer transport for medical appointments. This service has now been transitioned to align with our vision to address social isolation by assisting residents to access support groups and other activities to improve their quality of life. We are also working in partnership with other organisations, to continue to provide the medical transport. OTHER SERVICES Meal Card scheme offers a subsidised place for those who can’t afford to, but would benefit from attending a Lunch Club, or to have a meal delivered from one of our local cafes, utlising funding from the CCP for that purpose. Hardship Fund Working with another local charity Christchurch Magdalen Trust, we have a referral route for emergency grants to families and individuals in urgent need of assistance. Referrers mainly comprise the local schools and statutory services

Help us help others - Marketing & Social Media

Description

We are a case just waiting to be studied! We do amazing things and our volunteers are incredible, every day they help to make people's lives better! But... we are terrible at telling people what/how/why we do it and the impact we make in our local community! We have no sales or marketing function, our social media is sporadic and unplanned and when we do presentations we still use laminated photos pinned to a board! We need someone to hit us with the basics so we can attract funding and volunteers to ensure we can continue to provide our essential services!
