If you stay in shelters and on prescription medications you have to leave site to use medications and suspense at their discretion when prescription medicines are to be used at point of residence and not allowed off site but medications is onsite rule to. Be taken onsite only apply but to be told no go on site well medications are for the person at current residential site not public site Staff are rude obnoxious and disgriniate people in their circumstance and use discrimination towards disable people and class afy Disabilities as mental health issues the staff make me sick how they discriminate people and me to my face how rude is that to tell a spinal patient there prescription medication is recreational use medication only how rude and spinal issues require surgery for last two tears an still no date in site is related to childhood trauma over 25 years ago os mental health issue with no name I rate this city mission a big fat 0 nothing but 000000000000000000 that for the prediguse behaviours from staff towards clients wow very judgmental people got two years trespass for use of medical prescription they say must be used onsite only and told take it off site to consume hmmmmmm laws state prescriptions to be use at current address only not for public view they use ya past against u from 30 plus years ago for ward of state oranga tamariki against you for housing and much more disgusting place I say un professional people there

Food bank and budgeting services: cannot thank them enough for their willingness to help whilst sparing judgement - found myself in a few rough spots this past year financially and they have been genuine life savers. I've always been terrified to ask for help (which has gotten me in a lot of financial struggles in itself) but the team here make it easy by always staying kind and respectful.

Op shop & help advice on many levels..If you find yourself Homeless, hungry or without, they can generally help (main office) Update 2025 Food Bank Phone the day before you wish to pickup..bookings between 8am-3pm..very busy, expect to phone numerous times to get thru Availability for help every 7 weeks now..for those in need, with proof, I.d etc Altho expect to jump some hoops to have that help regularly..

I cannot adequately express the gratitude and admiration I feel for Christchurch City Mission, especially the men's shelter. This is an institution that truly puts its heart into service, making a significant difference to some of the most vulnerable members of our society. The shelter is so much more than a roof over one's head - it is a sanctuary where dignity, compassion, and genuine care are in abundant supply. Special recognition must be given to the tireless and dedicated staff members, who treat every individual who walks through the door with respect and kindness. Steve, Robbie, Harriot, Thomas, Pete, and Brian - your hard work, dedication, and compassion are nothing short of inspiring. The way you navigate challenges and extend your kindness towards every individual is truly admirable. Your contributions are not only changing lives but also shaping a more compassionate and understanding community around you. We are all better for having you in our corner. Thank you for your tireless efforts and for being a beacon of hope and kindness in our city. Your dedication truly makes a difference and is a testament to the transformative power of love, empathy, and respect. Peace and good vibes, Levi (Phoenix) Burton, Intended Candidate for Mayor, Grey District Council
