Supporting women through 

hardship for almost 20 years 

• By Bea Gooding 

A SENSE OF belonging and 

purpose has been the driving force 

behind the success of a women’s 

support group in the last two 

decades. 

The Women’s Social Support 

Group at the Woolston Development 

Project recently marked its 

20th anniversary of nurturing the 

lives of women across the city. 

The group provides social opportunities 

for women from a diverse 

range of backgrounds, including 

those facing unemployment, mothers 

of children with disabilities, or 

carers of sick family members for 

long periods of time. 

WDP manager and facilitator 

Bev Adams has been involved with 

the group since its inception and 

said its importance has been highlighted 

now more than ever due to 

Covid-19. 

“The founding members 

identified a concern that local 

women were becoming more 

isolated due to low income and 

increasing health issues,” she said. 

“We’ve seen a lot of changes over 

the years, but isolation is still an 

issue for women. Covid-19 showed 

how isolated people actually were 

because they hadn’t built those 

community connections over time.”

Activities to build 

positive relationships 

• From page 1 

The women’s group was established 

in 2000 and started with 10 

members, but it has now grown 

to more than 35. 

Activities such as arts and 

craft, games and bus outings 

were on offer to enable women 

to build positive relationships, 

develop practical leisure skills 

and increase awareness of other 

opportunities city-wide. 

Adams said the dynamic of 

the group shifted over time 

because members were able to 

confide in each other around 

issues such as domestic violence, 

rather than attending just for the 

activities. 

This was particularly apparent 

following the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes. 

Said Adams: “Pre-earthquakes, 

women came there to enjoy the 

activities. When the earthquakes 

hit we were closed for six weeks, 

but they still depended on those 

connections they had made 

especially as many struggled with 

losing their houses. 

“The whole dynamic of the 

group since then has changed. 

People are much more caring and 

they never hesitate to check in on 

each other.” 

Many women readily accepted 

the care and responsibility of 

their families, whether it was 

young children, ageing parents or 

unwell partners. 

Adams said this was often to 

the detriment of their own health 

and well-being, therefore the 

group helped women take some 

time out for themselves, and 

develop lifelong friendships. 

It impacted their lives due 

to learning new skills such as 

gardening, cooking, making 

clothes or having a hobby, which 

lifted self-esteem and confidence. 

“Some of these women have 

been working 24/7 to look after 

someone, managing finances or 

organising medical needs and 

never think about what they want 

or need,” she said. 

“They become overtired and 

depression is more apparent because 

they’re eating, sleeping and 

living for other people. 

“Coming to a group like this 

for two hours just provides 

some respite and is a lifting of 

the spirits. Having a laugh is 

incredibly therapeutic.” 

•The Women’s Social 

Support Group meets 

weekly at the Woolston 

Development Project on 

Wednesdays from 9.45am 

during the school term. 

‘It’s nice to make new friends’ 


MAKING FRIENDS in a new 

city can often be no easy feat, 

but for Gloria Brown, joining a 

successful women’s group was a 

decision that paid off. 

Brown is one of the last 

remaining founding members 

of the Women’s Social Support 

Group. 

The Woolston resident moved 

to Christchurch from Timaru 

in 1992 and joined the WDP 

after a spontaneous decision to 

give it a go. 

Said Brown: “I joined the 

group because I didn’t know 

many people when I moved 

up here, and I was looking for 

friends, a job and things to do. 

I found a leaflet in my letterbox 

about it and I ended up joining 

that day. 

“It’s great because there’s 

always new members coming 

through, so it’s nice to make 

new friends. Some members 

even come from the other side 

of town.” 

Many came and went over 

the years, but now only two 

founding members remained – 

Brown, along with Patsy Kerr. 

Joining in on the fun became 

a weekly ritual for Brown, who 

seldom misses a meeting. 

RITUAL: Gloria Brown was a founding member of the 

Women’s Social Support Group and has been part of 

the organisation ever since. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Along with arts and crafts, 

regular excursions to attractions 

such as the Christchurch 

Gondola, the Botanic Gardens 

or punting on the Avon River 

were activities she enjoyed the 

most. 

The companionship and lifelong 

friendships were why she 

remained at the group for the 

last two decades, especially the 

support she felt when she lost 

her home in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

“It’s helped a lot of women, 

especially when they’ve been 

lonely. I don’t know where I 

would’ve been [otherwise].”

$7m for shovel-ready projects a surprise 

WHO DOESN’T love a pleasant 

surprise or an unexpected gift? 

This year my wife bought me a 

set of binoculars for my birthday 

and I have to admit, even at my 

age, I was delighted. 

I’ve always wanted a pair but 

just never quite got around to 

getting some. 

Now I can tell her all sorts 

of useful things – like what the 

seagulls are doing over the other 

side of the park or exactly which 

of my friends is biking past in 

the distance. 

The recent Government 

announcement of $7 million for 

“shovel-ready” infrastructure 

projects in our area was like 

another birthday present for 

me. 

I knew something was coming 

but when the projects were 

announced I was stoked for our 

community. 

Nine projects in and around 

New Brighton will and are benefiting 

from the money. 

Two New Brighton institutions 

– the New Brighton Surf Bathing 

and Lifesaving Club and the 

From the board 

Kelly Barber, chair 

Waitai/Coastal-Burwood Community Board 

South Brighton Surf Lifesaving 

Club will have help advancing 

their rebuilds. 

The South Brighton Tennis 

Club will be able to finish earthquake 

repairs and support its 

growing membership and there 

is money to help complete the 

fantastic new meeting place and 

café progressing at the Bridge 

Hub South Brighton, 

Rāwhiti Domain is going to 

see a lot of action in the coming 

months with the Guardians of 

Rāwhiti taking the lead on a native 

bird and butterfly sanctuary 

and a natural woodland play 

space and education centre. 

There will be ground drainage 

improvements, a new softball 

diamond and the completion of 

the flood-lit, all-weather netball 

and tennis facility and the reconfiguring 

of the 70-year-old clubrooms 

at New Brighton Rugby 

Football Club to offer social and 

community events. 

So it was fitting that on a typically 

beautiful New Brighton day 

last week your whole community 

board turned out at the domain 

with a large crowd to welcome a 

special guest. 

Our Prime Minister Jacinda 

Ardern, as a guest of our local 

MP and Associate Greater 

Christchurch Minister Poto Williams 

and Eastern Community 

Sports and Recreation, dropped 

INJECTION: A ceremony 

attended by the Prime 

Minister Jacinda 

Adern celebrated the 

annoucement of $7 million 

for community projects. 

Some of the money will be 

used to finish reconfiguring 

the 70-year-old clubrooms 

at New Brighton Rugby 

Football Club. 

by to celebrate the funding with 

locals. 

The prime minister said that 

the term “shovel ready” doesn’t 

really capture the fact that this 

money is for great community 

organisations doing great work 

in their community. 

I think our local city councillor 

James Daniels captured our 

sentiment best when he said: 

“This funding injection is a shot 

in the arm that we accept with 

pleasure, pride and appreciation.” 

So while the whole Covid-19 

situation has been an incredibly 

difficult and frustrating time for 

many businesses, communities 

and families sometimes out of 

these situations comes something 

unexpected, something 

positive and something to 

celebrate. 

It feels like this is such a time. 

Kia Kaha everyone.

Student’s photo gets recognition 


CLAUDIA O’Shannessey’s 

passion for protecting the 

environment has resulted in the 

year 13 student taking out one of 

the top spots at an international 

competition. 

The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

student’s photo, Sustainable 

Surfer Seeks Waste at Sumner, 

came second out of nearly 200 

entries at the annual young 

reporters for the environment 

global competition. 

The competition gives young 

people a platform to research environmental 

issues and promote 

solutions through investigative 

reporting, photography and 

video journalism. 

Said Claudia: “When I first 

found out I was pretty ecstatic. 

It felt like a huge privilege to 

represent New Zealand and to 

get such an outstanding result 

world wide to me is one of my 

greatest achievements.” 

“I entered because I wanted a 

way to make a difference whilst 

pursuing my passion and using 

my strengths.” 

Claudia was one of three New 

Zealand students who won 

awards in the litter less campaign 

category, with entries related to 

the topic of litter and waste. 

Her photo, which was placed 

RECOGNITION: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School student Claudia O’Shannessey’s (inset) photo highlighting sustainability came 

second at a global environmental competition. 

PHOTO: CLAUDIA O’SHANNESSEY 

in the photography 15-18 years 

category, features her younger 

sister, Sienna, collecting waste on 

Sumner beach. 

The “huge” sunrise 

represented the start of a new 

day and symbolised the start of 

something new, or change. 

“You can clearly see her 

silhouette where she is eagerly 

dragging the trash bin in order 

to make a change. Small acts 

matter,’’ she said. 

“She’s a surfer from Sumner 

who is protecting what she cares 

about and ultimately fixing 

something she didn’t cause.” 

Sustainability was something 

the student held close to her heart 

as it determined the future of her 

generation and beyond. 

“I am proud of my Maori 

heritage and I wanted this photo 

to capture the powerful essence 

of our land and water as taonga 

(treasures), and our spiritual 

connection to our land, Papatuanuku,” 

she said.

NEW BRIGHTON 

10 years 

It is amazing how fast time flies. I took over this business in October 

of 2010, which was the start of an unusual period for the city of 

Christchurch. Over the last ten years there certainly has been some 

ups and downs, especially for the suburb of New Brighton, however 

we are still going strong. A big part of our success here at the store 

is down firstly to my staff and secondly to the local community who 

support us, and to both I would like to say a massive Thank You. 

We have just completed an update of the NZ Post and Kiwibank 

section of our branch and expanded the retail offering in the Paper 

Plus area, rest assured completed by qualified tradesmen as no 

one would let me near a hammer. This update should see us right 

for many years to come and truly makes us a one stop shop. 

Again I would like to thank all that have supported us over the 

years and I look forward to serving you in the future.

CALLS HAVE been made to 

stop rates increases in response 

to the Covid-19 crisis. 

City councillors James Gough, 

Sam MacDonald, Catherine 

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown 

and James Daniels have sent a 

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

asking her to lead a conversation 

as to how a zero per cent rates 

increase could be achieved this 

year. 

The city council is proposing 

an average rates increase of 4.65 

per cent across all ratepayers in 

this year’s Draft Annual Plan 

which is currently under public 

consultation until April 5 and 

will be finalised before July 1. 

The 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent
