About the City Mission

The Christchurch City Mission, Te Whare Mīhana Ki Ōtautahi, is a social services agency offering support for those who need it, regardless of their circumstances. We offer assistance to those who are marginalised through social and economic factors and who are at risk through unemployment, inadequate housing, family breakdown, addiction, financial difficulties or mismanagement, abuse or other difficulty.
