An amazing achievement for Dame Sue Bagshaw and for the youth of Christchurch!

This youth hub will be a model of excellence that Aotearoa can look to roll out to support youth across the motu.

After a decade of planning which included consulting young people in the design, fund raising, construction is finally underway for the brand new facility in central Christchurch that will provide wrap-around care and support services for the city’s youth.

Services will include mental health, medical, educational, employment and training, recreation, creativity and social entrepreneurship.

Check out her Radio New Zealand interview with Jesse Mulligan to find out more, and if you can donate to this very worthy cause, please click the link to their Give a Little page to be directed through to the secure website.

Congratulations to Sue and the Christchurch Youth Hub team.
