Learning about environment
aim of student programme
STUDENTS will get hands-on
lessons this year on how to
minimise their waste due to a
free Learning Through Action
programme run by the city
council.
‘A Waste of Time’ programme
is aimed at year 5 to
13 students and focuses on
educating them about the city’s
recycling processes through a
series of engaging and interactive
activities.
As part of the programme,
which schools can access for
free, students visit three of
EcoCentral’s recycling facilities
– the Eco Sort, Eco Drop and
Eco Shop – to learn what
happens to the material that is
put out for recycling after it is
collected at the kerbside.
A partnership between
EcoCentral and Red Bus means
that in term 1 participating
schools can get free transport to
and from the recycling facilities.
Said city council parks
programmes and partnerships
manager Kate Russell: “We
teach students about how we
use the three Rs – reduce, reuse
and recycle – to manage our
waste stream and we show
them how small changes to
our habits can have a massive
impact on our environment.

Volunteer shortage
has charity
calling for more
contributors
A CHARITY is concerned it
doesn’t have enough volunteers
to continue providing
social services to vulnerable
communities across the region.
Presbyterian Support South
Island is calling for more
volunteers for its Enliven
programme, which supports
older people to stay healthy and
connected.
The charity has supported
Cantabrians for more than a
century, which also supports
children and families through
its Family Works programme.
Presbyterian Support
volunteer co-ordinator Roni
Jordan said 267 volunteers
donated more than 18,000 hours
of their time last year.
While this was a significant
contribution, more is needed, she
said.
“It’s without doubt
Cantabrians are kind and
caring which is why they make
such a significant impact on the
work we do to support older
people.’’
A range of roles needed to
be filled. Mini-van drivers and
assistants were required to
help transport people to day
programmes, serve meals and
refreshments, and to join in on
activities at the programmes
themselves.
Said Jordan: “Our volunteers
are wonderful people who form
part of the Presbyterian Support
‘family’ and they are incredibly
generous in giving their time
and effort to helping our Enliven
members.
“So I would encourage anyone
who has a little spare time to
contact us about becoming a
volunteer.”
Enliven ensures all older
New Zealanders have access
to community-based support,
activities to join in with, and
safe, healthy independence at
home.
As well as delivering its own
services, Family Works also
delivered programmes on
behalf of the Ministry of Social
Development and the Ministry
of Justice to ensure children felt
safer and that families can be
restored.

Online store next step for
specialist footwear shop
Just over a year since the doors first opened, The
Shoe Room in Upper Riccarton is about to launch a
new service for customers – an online store.
Owned by podiatrist Charlotte Russell, who
also owns and operates the podiatry clinic Feet
First, The Shoe Room was part of the clinic before
increasing demand for fashionable, functional
footwear prompted her to open the specialist shop
in December 2019.
“The online store is the next ‘big thing’ for us,
and it means that a much wider customer base
will have access to our extensive range,” Charlotte
says.
Customers logging on to the online store will find
photographs of the shoes taken from every angle
as well as information on the designs and materials
used to make them. A size guide on the website
shows how to measure feet, which Charlotte
encourages people to use so they can be sure of
ordering the right size.
The Shoe Room stocks a number of leading
international footwear brands, and the range has
recently been extended with the addition of the
popular Ziera brand. Also, in addition to Propét, the
store now stocks the Dr Comfort range of medical
footwear.
While The Shoe Room’s main focus is on
women’s footwear, the men’s range is also being
expanded, Charlotte says.
Business has grown steadily over the last 12
months, both through word of mouth and with
customers returning to purchase second and third
pairs of shoes, which Charlotte says is largely due
to the service her staff provides.
“That’s our point of difference. Shop manager
Maxine and shop assistant Carol are very friendly
and welcoming and are able to build a rapport with
customers by providing that all-important personal
service and making sure customers get shoes that
fit correctly, are comfortable and look nice on their
feet.”
The Shoe Room’s online store will go live in
February, a fitting complement to the physical
store, which is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton
Road, opposite the Lone Star.
Opening hours are Monday 10am-5.30pm,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 9.30am-5.30pm,
Thursday 9.30am-5.30pm with late night Tuesday
by appointment only, Saturday 10am-4pm.
However, the online store will be open 24/7.
The Shoe Room looks forward to meeting all of
your footwear requirements.
Carol, left, and Maxine provide the all-important
personal service for The Shoe Room customers
The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star.
Opening hours are Monday 10am-5.30pm, Tuesday to Friday 9.30am-5.30pm,
Saturday 10am-4pm, Tuesday late night by arrangement. Off street parking available.

Plans released for housing complex
A NEW housing complex is
planned for St Albans, replacing
20 old and cold units that were
demolished to make way for the
development in December.
The Ōtautahi Community
Housing Trust plans to build 33
modern, green building-rated
homes on Coles Pl as part of
its continued drive to improve
the city’s community housing
stock.
ŌCHT has applied to the city
council for resource consent, and
an application
for building
consent will
follow.
Neighbours
will be kept
up-to-date
Cate Kearney
with progress
as the proposal
develops,
the trust says.
All tenants from the old units
were rehoused in other ŌCHT
communities in November,
well before work to prepare the
site for the construction of the
new one, two, three and fourbedroom
units began.
Some of the relocated tenants
lived in their community for
many years. Where possible,
long-term tenants may have the
option of returning to Coles Pl.
ŌCHT chief executive Cate
Kearney said the trust aims
NEW HOMES: An artist’s impression of how the Coles Pl housing complex will look.
to reduce homelessness in
Christchurch with new homes
that blend in with other modern,
developments.
“We’d really hope that communities
understand that social
and community housing is needed
more now than ever, and in
all suburbs, especially as we see
the impact of the housing shortage,
high rentals and the lingering
effects of the Covid-19 response
on the number of people
in need of a home,” she said.
The Ministry of Social Development’s
Social Housing Register
routinely has more than 1000
applicants waiting for housing in
the Christchurch city area.
ŌCHT commercial and development
manager Ed Leeson said
the new, two-storey units will be
a home for a range of tenants,
from single people to families.
They will be designed to
achieve the New Zealand Green
Building Council’s Homestar 6
rating, at a standard that is at or
above those set in New Zealand
building code.
Modern materials, passive solar
design and high-spec insulation
will help make them homes
that are environmentally sound
and cheaper to run, Leeson said.
Outside the homes, the surrounding
area includes landscaped
communal green areas
and gardens, roading and parking
are designed for safety and
people-friendly spaces.
“This is going to be a
lovely site with very attractive
landscaping, green spaces, communal
areas and fruit trees,” said
Leeson.
“It used to be home to old
units that were past their usedby
date. We plan to deliver new
homes that enhance the best use
of our land and wider community.”
ŌCHT provided 59 new
homes last year and will open
another 30 when the first stage
of the three stage, 90-home
Brougham St development is
officially opened tomorrow.
“As a landlord, ŌCHT is
all about providing warm, dry, safe
and modern homes,” said Leeson.
“But that is just part of the
story – our leased homes have
been part of Christchurch for 90
years and with our new homes
we aspire to enhance the lives
of our tenants and the community
around them.”

Learn how to minimise waste
• From page 1
“It’s a great learning
opportunity and students come
away with a better understanding
of the importance of waste
reduction and recovering
resources rather than disposing
of them to landfill.’’
Other free city council Learning
Through Action programmes
focus on sustainability, climate
change, biodiversity, geology, water
conservation, Civil Defence
and local government.
“With all of the programmes,
the goal is to provide students
with authentic, hands-on learning
opportunities,’’ said Russell.
Students examine stream
invertebrates as part of the Fresh
Water Frolicking programme.
For example, students go ponddipping
to identify a range of
stream invertebrates and explore
the wider food chains and life
cycles.
They consider the importance
of freshwater biodiversity and
investigate the impact of human
choices on the sustainability of
our eco-systems.
In the Native Nurturing
programme, students explore
the contrasting landscapes of the
Port Hills at Victoria Park. They
discover how the unique Port
Hills environment has changed
over time and take a multisensory
walk through podocarp
forest.
The students get up close and
personal with pests to consider

their impact on native and endemic
species, and they have the
opportunity to learn about tracking
and trapping methods used
by park rangers.
“In the past five years we have
worked with around 200 schools
in Christchurch, helping them
give their students learning experiences
outside the classroom,’’
said Russell.
“Last year 7283 students
from more than 70 schools
participated in our Learning
Through Action programmes.
That is fewer than in previous
years due to the COVID-19
lockdown. In a typical year
between 10,000 and 11,000
students benefit from our
programmes.’’
Challenge to get
people cycling
SIGN language interpreter and
mother-of-two Amy Hewgill
loves taking her kids for a spin
on her bike.
“I find it far more relaxing
than going by car and the kids
really enjoy the ride. We chat
about the things we see
along the way and it is
lots of fun,’’ she said.
Hewgill is one of
thousands to participate
in the Aotearoa
Bike Challenge, which
takes off next month.
Organised by the
New Zealand Transport
Agency, Love to Ride and
the city council, the challenge
is a free competition that encourages
people to experience
first-hand the joys and benefits
of riding a bike.
Workplaces, clubs and groups
can take part in the challenge,
earning points for every person
they sign-up and for every
kilometre, and every day, that
participants ride.
People can also sign up for
the challenge as individuals.
Hewgill has taken part for the
past two years and was keen to
clock-up more consecutive days
on her bike this time around.
Amy Hewgill
She took up cycling about
four years ago after the birth of
her second child because she
wanted to get fit.
Now she’s hooked, using her
bike regularly to take her kids
to school and pre-school before
journeying onto work.
Last year, Christchurch
companies dominated
the Aotearoa Bike
Challenge workplace
competition, scoring
more points than other
workplaces of comparable
size in nearly all
seven categories.
The city council won the category
nationally for workplaces
that employ 2000 or more staff.
Almost 1000 of those who
took part were new to cycling.
“The Aotearoa Bike Challenge
is a fun way to encourage
people to get on a bike and give
cycling a go,’’ said city council
head of transport Richard
Osborne.
“You don’t have to commit
to anything more than one
10-minute bike ride, but you
might find that you really enjoy
the exercise and the fresh air
and it may become something
that you do regularly.”

KIWIBANK LOCAL HERO AWARDS
Work with music therapy earns Wade medal
• By Ella Somers
KIMBERLEY WADE, founder
and director of Southern Music
Therapy, thought it was a hoax
when she found out she had
been made a Kiwibank Local
Hero medallist for her work as
a registered neurologic music
therapist.
However, she said it was “really
lovely to be valued by someone
other than my husband and my
mum. Someone investigated
and appreciated what I’ve done
and thought it was cool, so that’s
pretty special.”
Wade grew up in Hawkes
Bay in a musical family and
studied psychology and classical
singing at Victoria University.
She considered becoming a
clinical psychologist but
“wanted to add the music in
there somewhere.”
After meeting a music therapist
and learning about music therapy,
Wade realised it was a career she
wanted to pursue. She auditioned
and got into Victoria University’s
master of music therapy
programme and, after graduating,
moved to Christchurch.
Wade describes musical therapy
as a tool to help with a nonmusical
goal, like finger dexterity
or helping with emotional
expression.
“We’re also working on
communication, physical
VALUED: Providing musical therapy for people with
disabilities has earned Kimberley Wade a Kiwibank Local
Hero medal for 2021.
rehabilitation, cognitive,
emotional and social goals,” she
said.
Music therapy is in “quite
a medical field,” Wade said,
something she wishes people
were more aware of.
“As musical therapists, we’re
providing opportunities and we
think outside the box as to how
music can be accessible to people
with disabilities.
“I love music because
it’s a non-verbal way of
communicating with people. It
bypasses everything and gets right
into your soul and provides this
universal connection to people.”
Wade has more than14 years
experience as a neurologic
music therapist and works
primarily with people who have
rehabilitation and neurological
conditions.
Said Wade: “I founded
Southern Music Therapy
because I liked working with
people with neurological
conditions. I wanted to work with
stroke clients which was quite
unheard of in New Zealand, not
just Christchurch.”
Southern Music Therapy
provides a range of therapy
services for people with
disabilities from group work
to individual sessions and
now works within all the
big neurological facilities in
Christchurch such as Equitas, St
John of God, Laura Fergusson
and Burwood Hospital.
As well as setting up the
organisation, Wade co-founded
the Cantabrainer Choir Trust
with Therapy Professionals in
February 2012 which is now run
by the trust.
The choir is for people with
neurological conditions. Wade
said she is really proud of what it’s
done for so many people.
“There was a real gap for people
with neurological conditions
who couldn’t afford private music
therapy.
“It’s a fabulous community
space for people to come together
and be able to do rehabilitation
without it being super expensive.”
A lot of Wade’s clients,
especially her stroke clients, are
not covered by ACC which means
they have to pay privately for
music therapy.
“There’s never enough funding
in the neurologic area and there’s
never enough understanding of
what musical therapy can offer,”
Wade said.
“I do have clients who sacrifice
parts of their lifestyle in order to
pay for the therapy because it’s so
highly valued in their world.”
It’s only after years of education
and advocacy of music therapy
that Wade feels more people are
aware that music therapy is out
there. Ideally, she wants people
to know that music therapy is an
option just like speech therapy or
physiotherapy and to make sure
it’s available to people if they need
it.
“In the last couple of years
music therapy is becoming more
recognised and more valued,” she
said.
“It’s definitely growing and
keeping it as a quality service is
very important.”

KIWIBANK LOCAL HERO AWARDS
The Kiwibank Local Hero of the Year Award recognises 100 individuals across the country who strive to
make their communities a better place through hard work and dedication. Included in the top 100 local
hero medallists for 2020 were 12 Cantabrians. We profile those who live in Christchurch.
• Abdul Aziz Wahabzadah
Abdul Aziz Wahabzadah has
been hailed as a hero by law
enforcement, politicians and the
public for his actions on March
15, 2019, when he risked his
life to chase down the terrorist
behind the Christchurch
mosque attacks. Wahabzadah
was worshipping at Linwood
Mosque when the killer entered
the mosque and opened fire. In
spite of the clear risk to his own
life, he chased the offender from
the room, while grabbing an
Abdul Aziz Wahabzadah
Eftpos machine to hurl at him.
Wahabzadah’s quick thinking
and bravery saved many lives
and helped law enforcement to
quickly identify the killer’s car
and capture him.
• Alice Andersen
As executive director of
Qtopia, Alice Andersen’s role
is to celebrate, educate and
advocate for New Zealand’s
rainbow youth and their
whānau. In the year alone she
has designed, developed and
Alice Andersen
delivered Qtopia’s education
programme to more than
2000 people in Aotearoa and
Australia and helped establish
international best practice for
how schools can support gender
diverse students with her mahi
alongside Christ’s College, as
they supported their first out
transgender student.
• Erica Austin
Erica Austin was nearing
the end of her Masters of
Architecture degree at the
University of Auckland when
the Christchurch earthquakes
happened. She finished her
degree and moved south,
excited to participate in the
city’s rebuild. She is interested
in how cities can build ‘social
architecture’ to ensure the
physical environment is vibrant,
inclusive, and unites and engages
its inhabitants. Since arriving,
Austin has thrown herself
into a wide range of creative,
community and entrepreneurial
projects, and considers herself
a “Christchurch ambassador.”
She has been an invaluable
member of the teams at FESTA
(Festival Of Transitional
Architecture), the Ministry
of Awesome, Gapfiller, TEDx
Christchurch, PechaKucha,
the Christchurch Arts Festival,
WORD Christchurch, and LINC
(Leadership in Communities).
• Nigel Hampton
As a criminal lawyer with
more than five decades of
experience, Nigel Hampton has
been involved with many highprofile
cases, including the Pike
River Royal Commission and the
collapse of the CTV building.
He has been chair of the New
Zealand Law Practitioners
Disciplinary Tribunal, was the
first Disciplinary Commissioner
of Counsel at the International
Criminal Court at the Hague,
and Chief Justice of the Kingdom
of Tonga. He is a judicial officer
for World Rugby and New
Zealand Rugby, on the boards
of charitable bodies, and is New
Zealand patron of the Howard
League for penal reform. He also
helped establish the Criminal
Cases Review Commission
board, to redefine the way
possible miscarriages of justice
are identified.

Youthline provides free phone
counselling to thousands of
young New Zealanders each year,
and Kerryn Scott is one of the
dedicated staff which allows this
work to happen. Scott works in
triage, ensuring the vulnerable
youth that calls Youthline are

In addition to her paid role, Scott

is a volunteer mentor, training
new Youthline volunteers. Scott
constantly monitors the national
roster for gaps, and regularly
takes up extra shifts to ensure
that young New Zealanders are
able to access support when they

• Mataio Brown
Matt Brown’s chain of
Christchurch barbershops, My
Father’s Barber, are places for
men to get their hair cut or beard
trimmed, but also safe spaces for
men to connect and unload without
judgement and regularly have
workshops with guest speakers,
community and support, an
antidote to toxic masculinity.
Brown regularly offers haircuts
at the Christchurch City Mission,
is a mentor at Christchurch
Men’s Prison, and partners with
domestic-violence charities. In
2018 Brown partnered with the
Ministry of Social Development
for the ‘It’s not OK campaign’ to
increase awareness about the role
of barbers in creating safe spaces
for men, and recently he held a

supplied them with food parcels,
drove them to appointments, and
connected them to agencies for
necessary support. Gillespie is

• Vicki-Anne Parker
After Vicki-Anne Parker lost
her house in the Christchurch
earthquake, she remembers being
touched by a hand-knitted redand-black
scarf sent to her by a
stranger living in Auckland. The
effect of that small gift during
a hard time was the motivation
behind Parker’s charity, NZ
Gifts of Love and Strength,
which sources donations and
provides care packages to
victims of severe trauma. The
organisation was established
after the Christchurch mosque
shootings in 2019 when Parker
provided care packages and
three meals a day to 31 families
affected by the shootings. Since
then Parker has supported New
Brighton Primary pupils who lost
their classrooms in a fire and a
Christchurch family who suffered
a fatal house fire.
