                                         Farewell Hannah
                                         Lyttelton Community House clients, volunteers and
                                         board are sad to announce Hannah will be leaving
                                         her role at LCH from the 18th December. Hannah has
                                         been a fantastic advocate for LCH and the work we
                                         do. Her energy and enthusiasm for community and
                                         social work will be missed however we all wish her well
                                         for her future endeavours.
                                         LCH will appoint a new person to the role in the coming
                                         weeks and we will introduce this person in due course.
                                         In the meantime, rest assured LCH continues to move
                                         from strength to strength. We had a difficult stretch
                                         and funding constraints in 2016/17 which pushed us
                                         to rethink our staffing levels in order to stay open.
                                         Fortunately, those days are behind us and we have
                                         continued to operate effectively with little disruption
                                         to services.
                                         We continue to provide a drop-in service where
                                         people come and enjoy meals, cups of tea and social
                                         interaction.
                                         In the last two years we have noticed a jump in the
                                         need to support people with their housing difficulties
                                         so if you know someone who needs support in this
                                         area let us know and we may be able to be of service
                                         and are practiced now in the processes.
                                         Our daily meal service continues. Meals are delivered
                                         three times a week covering five days’ worth of meals.
                                         These meals are cooked in our commercial kitchen
                                         and delivered by volunteers. We’d like to take this
                                         opportunity to thank our volunteers, some of whom
                                         have been delivering since the project began post-
                                         quake.
                                         The commercial kitchen is a boon for LCH and please
                                         know we offer catering services for gatherings. We
                                         can provide morning and afternoon teas, light meals
                                         and food for most occasions. All proceeds from
                                         these catering services helps keep LCH a functioning
                                         provider of social services in the township and wider
                                         harbour basin.
                                         Once again, we wish Hannah all the best for her future.
