The Eden Project NZ
 

Bringing a Natural Forest to the Centre of Christchurch

The Eden Project NZ
 
Martin Hadlee and Ray Sleeman shared details of the inspirational Eden Project concept that is being promoted as a huge opportunity for Christchurch going forward.
 
The goal of the Trust is to bring something inspirational to Christchurch. Based on the successful Eden Project in Cornwall, which created a highly successful international tourist complex in a china clay pit, Eden focusses on connecting people to an open world based on the value of transformational thinking. 
 
After phenomenal success in the UK, Eden is now keen to take this concept to the world stage by promoting the idea that the future is in our hands to take what presents as a derelict site and transforming it into something spectacular which becomes a catalyst for ongoing change.

City Mission

The City Mission Clothing Drive

Thanks to John Stringer and Angela Lumb who joined me at The City Mission for this year’s Clothing Drive. Thanks, too, to Geoff Haworth and Jim Hudson who both volunteered but were not able to make it due to illness.

It was a very successful day with many people dropping off goods. There was so much to sort but we had it all done until another van load arrived just on closing time. This lot all went inside, still in bags and boxes, ready to sort by the staff on Monday.
 
The shop is not usually open on a Saturday so there were some surprised shoppers who just happened to see it was open and came to look. Some items which were donated that day had already been sold by the time we left.
 
The City Mission staff were very grateful for our help and hoped we’d be back next year.
