The Champion Centre, established in 1977 and run by the Early Intervention Trust, was the winner receiving $50,000. Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust and Ronald McDonald House South Island received second and third place respectively, each charity will receive $25,000 towards their causes. The Champion Centre offers individually tailored services for children with disabilities, including speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, learning through play, and education support. Funding pressures mean the average shortfall for the near 170 children that attend the centre is about $7000, per child, per year. Most families are part of the programme for five to six years, equating to a funding gap of over $40,000 for each child, throughout the time that they attend the centre. Archibald’s chief executive John Fairhall praised the way organisations had engaged with the initiative, saying: “Every single one gave it their all, and were hugely supportive of both what Archibald’s is trying to do for Christchurch, and the other charities involved.” $ 3 99 ea Olivani Olive Oil Spread 500g $ 1 00 ea Golden Circle Fruit Juice 1L or Kiwi Blue Still Water 1.5L Protest against water bottling operation • By Julia Evans MORE THAN 6000 people will march through the central city on Saturday protesting against overseas water bottling operations. “Somebody needed to do something . . . as a father my biggest concern is the future, what my children and grandchildren will be left with,” organiser Scott Esdaile said. More than 6000 people have shown interest in the event, which will start on the corner of Manchester and Cashel Sts at 12.30pm and then go to Cathedral Square. Mr Esdaile said it was “disgusting” that Environment Canterbury granted Chinese-owned Cloud Ocean Water permission to take 1.57 billion litres of water a year. Now Cloud Ocean has bought land for a second bottling plan across the road from the factory it is developing in Belfast, he said some action needed to happen urgently. If it gains consent to take water from the bores at the new site, Cloud Ocean could have access to another 7.5 billion litres of water. •The March to Save Our Water will start on Saturday at 12.30pm from the corner of Cashel and Manchester Sts and into Cathedral Square. $ 1 99 ea Heartland Potato Chips 150g (Excludes Crafted) $ 4 00 pk Kiwisoft Toilet Tissue Prints 2 Ply 12 Pack style noun elegance and sophistication. synonyms: flair, grace, poise, polish, suaveness, urbanity, chic, finesse, taste, class, comfort, luxury, affluence, wealth, opulence, lavishness. $ 25 99 pk Owned & operated by locals Corona 12 x 355ml Bottles $ 14 99 ea The Ned 750ml (Excludes Pinot Noir) Mmmm...

The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday March 7 2019 17 ADVERTORIAL “We feel part of the community” Sales advisor Susie Alayne with townhouse residents Helen and Jack. Anthony Wilding Retirement Village, in Aidaneld, Halswell, boasts fantastic views of both the Port Hills and the Southern Alps. But that is not what residents Jack and Helen Allan love most about the village. “It’s a nice balance here for us, not too busy but not too quiet,” says Jack. “It feels like home.’’ Jack and Helen moved into their townhouse at the end of last year and even though home was a farm down Ashburton way for most of their lives, Jack and Helen settled into the community at Anthony Wilding easily. “We’re farmers, so it’s a wee bit strange to come to Christchurch when such a big part of our lives was spent in mid-Canterbury and Ashburton,” says Jack. “But we like the ambiance of Anthony Wilding and it’s on the right side of Christchurch for us.” One of the reasons the couple chose the village was that Ryman had a range of different care options. “We also like the fact that the care goes all the way through, care that we may or may not need in the years ahead,” says Jack. “Ryman sort of set the standard, and I followed their progress throughout the years. Coming to a Ryman village wasn’t a hard decision for us; leaving Ashburton was.” The move from the farm was prompted by thinking of the future. “We’re both getting to that age and we’re trying to be proactive,” says Jack. Anthony Wilding Retirement Village offers independent townhouses, assisted living in a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and dementia care. The village includes an all-weather bowling green, indoor heated swimming pool, spa, internal atrium, library, gym, hair and beauty salon, bar and shop. Sales advisor, Susie Alayne, says that because the village is so established it has beautiful gardens, a strong sense of community and the setting is also unique. “There’s a wonderful bus service, you can go directly out to Halswell road and get the bus, and you have the bus on Aidaneld Drive that goes to Wigram and Hornby,” says Susie. The size of the village is also a bonus. “We have all the benets of a big village but small enough that everyone still knows everyone else,” says Susie. “It’s also brilliantly positioned for people on the Banks Peninsula. Our townhouses look gorgeous as they are kept up to date.” Susie says that the benet of a townhouse is that it offers complete independence but with the added bonus of having a safety net for times when you might need some help. “You have your own privacy and independence and you can do everything you have always done, but you also have support and back-up if you ever need it,” says Susie. “Our townhouses do appeal to the younger residents as they can just close the door and go on holiday but have the condence that everything left behind will be safe.” For Jack and Helen, the fact that they can visit their friends in the city, and go play tennis, without ever having to worry about their home is what retiring is all about. “It feels like home” says Jack. The couple are enjoying life and participating in as many activities as they can. “While we enjoy our independence, we do feel part of the community,” says Helen. “We’re very lucky,” Jack adds.
