Corona Virus Update
Covid has impacted on our planned work of moving Christchurch forward as a Dementia Friendly town. We are now putting our efforts into sharing information that could assist carers with support and activities during these unprecedented times. We are also available at the end of the phone to assist in way we can and look forward to the time when it is safe for us to actively resume with our plans.
