groups to
benefit
from a
$1m
payout
• By Stu Oldham
A $1 MILLION payday will help
many of our community groups
keep going – and highlights how
much they need our help.
The eastern suburbs’ community
boards have just confirmed
grants of $1,001,400 to more than
100 groups.
There may be more to come
– the council will soon confirm
how a new Covid-19 response
package will be allocated.
The money will help groups
that operate across the spectrum,
from sports and recreation
groups to churches and social
agencies.
Some of the money will be
spent on specific projects but the
lion’s share of the is needed to
help pay to keep them going.
Many applicants will use the
money to pay rent and utilities,
and to pay the staff who work
alongside countless volunteers.

Call for hall to become community hub
• By Matt Slaughter
A NEW Brighton community
group leader wants Roy Stokes
Hall to become more of a hub for
community groups.
Development Christchurch
Ltd, which is owned by the city
council, owns the hall, which
The Christchurch Circus Trust
leases. It can host between 500
and 600 people.
The circus trust’s director
Chris Carrow said at the moment,
it is the only organisation
which uses the space but he
wants it to be gifted back to the
community and be available for
other groups and individuals to
use.
He said the hall would be great
for hosting more performances
and concerts by entertainers
from across Christchurch and
abroad.
Carrow said funding may need
to be applied for from charitable
organisations such as the Rata
Foundation to make small
renovations to the hall to make
it appealing for these types of
events.
“We can get 500 or 600 people
in this hall, so it’s not a tiny, little
hall.
“If you turn the venue into a
classy place, you get it out there
in the community and you get
it out there in the larger parts of
New Zealand so that if there’s
a musician touring and it turns
into a very cool venue, they
might want to come out here,”
he said
DCL is proposing to build a
housing development on the
site.
Carrow said DCL has been
open to discussions with the circus
trust about Roy Stokes Hall
remaining there and hopes it will
consider opening it up more for
community use.
The hall sits on the old Central
New Brighton School site, which
was purchased by DCL off the
Ministry of Education in 2018.
The future of the hall, which
opened in 1977, has been uncertain
since the school closed in
2015.
DCL did not respond before
Pegasus Post went to print.
OPPORTUNITY: A call has been made for Roy Stokes Hall
to become available for more community groups and
events.
‘There’s a lot happening at grass roots level’
•From page 1
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board allocated
$643,250 to 47 groups. Coastal-
Burwood allocated $358,150 to
55.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
board chairwoman Alexandra
Davids said the groups were as
vital to the area as the funding
was to them.
Many needed help to keep the
lights going because other
funders preferred to support
specific projects, not
operating costs.
The boards’ Strengthening
Communities fund
helped with the base-level
funding that kept groups
viable, she said.
Some of them were operating
in areas central government
has a strong interest, such as
Alexandra
Davids
social services and education.
It was right to support
them – but it was also
important central
government understood
how much the
community supported its
own.
“I hope central government
will look at what is being
spent and sees it might have a
greater role to play.”
The city’s community boards
could play a greater role in advocating
for more Government help
for local groups.
“The Government operates
at a high level, but there is a lot
happening at the grass roots level
where there is real value, and
where they can get more bang for
its buck earlier on.”
Davids will raise the boards’
possible advocacy role when
the city’s community board
chairs meet for their regular
forum.
She has early support from
Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Tori Peden.
Advocacy strengthens communities,
she said.
Coastal-Burwood chairman
Kelly Barber could not be
reached for comment.

App to challenge consumer behaviour
• By Bea Gooding
“IMAGINE A platform where
you can rent everything as
opposed to buying brand new.”
Toby Skilton’s dream of developing
a renting and lending
app has come true in a matter of
months and launches next week
in a bid to challenge consumer
behaviour.
Mutu, founded by Skilton,
launches in Canterbury next
week and will enable users to
acquire or lend items on a temporary
basis – anything from
paddleboards and bikes to do-ityourself
tools and camping gear,
to name a few.
“I couldn’t be more excited.
This platform is a tool to reduce
waste and really solves a massive
issue we have in New Zealand
with overconsumption.”
The launch comes at a time
when people were more conscious
of their spending and
were taking the time to explore
their backyard due to Covid-19.
“It encourages tourism and
trying something new while
saving money on our platform,”
he said.
“Cantabrians can spend that
money on cafes, accommodation
and amazing outdoor adventure
facilities right on our doorstep.”
Skilton said the app and
website will also enable users
DREAM: Toby Skilton’s new lending and borrowing app, Mutu, will enable users to acquire
the things they need without buying brand new, reducing the amount of items sent to
landfill.

to make money by renting the
under-utilised items they own.
“It’s also giving items destined
for the landfill an opportunity to
be repurposed and slows down
manufacturing,” he said.
When he was travelling
through Europe with his partner,
Elise, they discovered getting
access to gear was “incredibly
expensive and time-consuming,”
for activities they loved such as
camping, hiking, and surfing.
Having limited space to pack
the necessary gear was another
issue in its own, he said.
Their experiences couch-surfing
with locals on their travels
sparked the idea for the app.
Said Skilton: “My partner and
I – we’re both into the outdoors –
packed all of our stuff and went
to Europe for a year. We stayed
with locals with garages full of
stuff they hardly ever used, so we
wanted to access it.
“They felt a huge amount of joy
out of us using their gear.”
Skilton has always had an
entrepreneurial drive, going to
sleep with “a million ideas at
once.”
He was excited to see one of
his ideas turn into a reality, and
the team has now expanded
to seven, working together to
develop the app over the course
of 10 months.
So far more than 1500 people
have now signed up on to their
website in anticipation of the
app’s launch, highlighting that
the platform will “solve a lot of
problems for a lot of people.”
“Our vision is to completely
revolutionise how people view
ownership and to make sharing
cool and normal. We’re confident
we’ll get there,” said Skilton.
“Encouraging behaviour
change comes with challenges,
so it’s important in a platform
like ours to have precautions to
enable trust, such as star ratings,
review systems and policies for
damaged equipment.”
• Mutu will launch on
Tuesday. For more

Hub landscape plan approved
• By Matt Slaughter
THE LANDSCAPE plan for a
new transport hub in Linwood
has been approved.
The transport hub will
be constructed on Buckleys
Rd, Linwood, near Eastgate
Shopping Centre in an effort to
improve pedestrian and traffic
safety and efficiency.
The landscape plan was
developed using 87 submissions
on what features people would
like to see around the transport
hub. A public consultation
period took place in November
and December last year.
Features of the plan will
include replacing the 16 trees
with 32 semi-mature trees,
planting native, colourful,
drought-tolerant plants, creating
a grass area to encourage people
to sit and relax while waiting
for buses, and replenishing the
existing planting beds located at
the Eastgate Mall end of nearby
Norwich St.
As well as this, feature fencing
will be installed along the
central median island and
hornbeams will be planted along
the length of the Eastgate Mall
frontage to tie in with the existing
trees.
About 1400 passengers a day
board buses near the shopping
centre and many of those people
have to cross a very busy stretch
of Buckleys Rd.
With 470 buses using the
local stops daily, there have
been issues with buses blocking
Hon Poto WILLIAMS
MP for Christchurch East
driveways, leaving residents
frustrated.
The bus hub will include a
new bus shelter and a signalised
pedestrian crossing with traffic
lights to improve access and
safety for bus passengers using
the hub.
Bus stops to the end of Norwich
St will be moved and the
street will become a cul-de-sac.
A new section of bus lane by
the pedestrian crossing will also
be constructed.
By-election
draws seven
candidates
ENROLLED VOTERS in the
Central Ward will get to exercise
their vote twice in October.
Seven candidates have put their
names forward to represent the
Central Ward at the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board by-election, which is being
held on October 16 – the day before
New Zealand’s re-scheduled
general election.
The seven candidates are vying
for a community board seat
left vacant by the retirement of
Sally Buck due to ill health. They
are – Clive Antony (Independent
Citizens) Faimeh Burke (Independent)
Celeste Donovan (Independent)
Sunita Gautam (Labour)
Wayne Hawker (Independent)
Paul Lonsdale (Independent) John
Stringer (Independent)
The by-election will be conducted
by postal vote.
Electoral officer Jo Daly said she
was pleased so many candidates
put themselves forward.
While October 16 is the date for
the by-election, enrolled voters in
the Central Ward can start voting
once they receive their voting
papers from September 24.
People yet to get on the electoral
roll can still enrol and get a
special vote, Ms Daly said.

Feud over clock
tower beginnings
The New Brighton
Museum has a rich
history spanning
more than 100
years. Peggy
Butterfield writes
monthly about the
historical display
at the heritage
museum
It is great to see our clock
tower back, even if the
time is only right twice a
day, but there is a lot of history
to our New Brighton
monument.
The New Brighton clock
was donated in 1934 by
Richard Green in memory
of his father, Edmund
Green.
Edmund Green had arrived
in Christchurch from
England in 1859 to install
the first telegraph system
in the South Island.
Richard Green had
already donated a similar
clock tower to Sumner, and
with the New Brighton donation,
this began a family
feud as his family believed
he was cutting them out
of his estate by spending
his wealth on statues and
clocks. His family were
in poor financial state,
including a son who had
been wounded in World
War 1.
The feud went as far as a
court case, where the magistrate
decided there was
sufficient money available
for the family as well.
There were rumours that
the family would disrupt
the ceremonies for the
laying of the foundation
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in
2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most important
coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found
in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of
the values and uniqueness of the area.
Don’t let the clever
pukeko fool you
stones, but on December
14, 1934, Irene Leaver,
daughter of the thenmayor
of New Brighton,
laid the foundation stone
of the New Brighton clock
tower, accompanied by
a “glamorous hunk of a
detective.”
There is no mention of a
name of this hunk, maybe
it was your Dad?
The architect for the
tower was Benjamin Ager
who designed the North
New Brighton Peace
Memorial Hall and St
Elmo’s Courts.
THE PUKEKO or swamp
hen are a well-known,
heavyweight native resident
– with male birds weighing
up to 1.1kg.
Some people may call
them “dumb birds” for
getting on roads to become
roadkill, however, pukeko
are actually extremely
clever and complex birds.
Don’t be fooled by the
pukeko running around
clumsily along the road as
they can swim, run and fly
extremely well.
Pukeko are commonly
seen on regularly mown
roadsides as they love the
fresh new grass shoots and
growth there.
That, paired with their
need to eat grit off the road,
(this aids them in their
digestion of tough to digest
foods like grass) puts them
at high risk of being run
down by motorists.
Pukeko live in small
community groups and
are very protective of their
territory, hence why you
can hear their loud shrieking
when they defend their
patch.
Females in the group
will lay as many as 19 eggs
in one shared nest, which
is incubated by the males.
When chicks hatch, the
entire group, whether
they are breeding and non
breeding birds, will feed
the chicks for about three
months. Now that’s clever.
How can we help these
birds thrive? Keep dogs
on the lead when walking
near waterways as to not
disturb them while they are
nesting, feeding or resting.
Drive carefully along roads
where you see pukeko
regularly and slow down.

Craft studio gives disabled independence
Myriad groups help
keep our community
moving. Reporter
Bea Gooding speaks
to the Handmade
Studio manager Tori
Peden about how the
trust helps people
with disabilities gain
independence and skills
in the craft industry
Tell me a bit about the
Handmade Studio Trust and
how it came to be what it is
today.
Handmade Studio started in
the early 80s as a place disabled
people could go to be creative,
help build their skills and gain
independence. Over time, skills
have been perfected and new
opportunities have become
available. Our completed
garments are for sale in our
showroom and at The Tannery
in Wool Yarn and Fibre. We are
hoping to build relationships
with the fashion design schools
as our fabrics are handmade and
one of a kind. Many hours of
love and care go into each piece
that is made.
What items are made at the
studio?
Woollen garments are created
by our artisans using New
Zealand wool woven through
a loom and made into many
different design fabrics. Once
the fabric is complete our
volunteers turn the raw product
into garments such as jackets,
capes, ponchos, and shawls. Any
left-over fabric from this process
is made into soft toy kiwis,
rabbits, and bears. At different
times scarfs have been created
on the looms. Other crafts are
also made in the studio, and
currently, we are working on a
group project creating a handstitched
quilt, to be donated
to another local charity when
complete.
Why is a place like this
an important asset in
Christchurch?
Places such as Handmade
Studio provide more than just
a place to work, it gives a sense
of belonging. Many different
community organisations help
support different groups within
Christchurch. Elderly, disabled,
refugee, youth, and parenting,
all have special requirements
and without these organisations,
our community would be
fragmented and cold. A real

sense of belonging and purpose
helps someone get out of bed in
the morning, be somewhere, and
be part something.
What are the current
issues impacting people with
disabilities in the craft scene,
and why?
There are a couple of issues
facing all people in the craft
space, that is having outlets
to showcase their work, and
funding to be able to provide
space for artists. Our artisans
are special in that they have a
few extra hurdles to jump when
a comes to being an artist, but
they all do it with dignity and
passion. You ask all of them and
they will tell you they love what
do and they love having friends
around them. It is a bonus to see
their creation being turned into
a garment and then going to a
home to be worn with pride.
Funding at times can be hard
to secure for a lot of community
groups and ours is no exception.
Without the generous support of
funding providers, Handmade
Studio would not be available
for our artisans. We will keep
ticking along, this year like
every year we will continue
applying for grants and hoping
to get money to carry on doing
what we do. We are incredibly
grateful for the support and local
donations we receive; it does
make a real difference.
How can the community
better support people with
disabilities wanting to enter the
craft industry?
As we have all been reminded
lately to shop local but also be
okay with spending that little bit
more on something handmade
because each handmade item
not only has a story but has been
made with love by someone who
really treasures what they do.
