Christchurch Arena 

Opening up for architecture 

Explore the 

buildings 

near you 

FORTY ONE of the city’s 

“most exceptional works of 

architecture” will be opened up 

for the public to explore next 

weekend. 

On Saturday, April 30, to 

Sunday, May 1, people can walk 

through and view a range of different 

buildings from Brooklands 

to Governors Bay as a part of the 

Open Christchurch festival. 

The architectural experience 

will include the Upper Riccarton 

chapel, Te Manawa Atawhai 

Catherine McAuley Centre 

(right), which was designed by 

Hamish Shaw Architects for the 

Sisters of Mercy on Peer St. A 

private Tokyo-style residence that 

offers an insight into the future of 

urban living and 

has won awards 

for its immersion 

of Māori language 

and values will 

also feature in the 

Jessica 

Halliday 

line-up. 

“We are really 

excited to offer a 

new selection of the city’s most 

exceptional works of architecture 

for people to enjoy this year,” said 

festival director Jessica Halliday. 

“It’s only because of the 

generosity and commitment 

of our building partners that 

we’re able to have such a diverse 

programme. We hope people 

embrace it with the same 

extraordinary enthusiasm that 

they did last year.”

When we decided to sell, Cameron was the logical choice to help us. From our 

first discussion we knew he was the right person, a clear sales strategy and 

focus gave us huge confidence. 

Whilst our expectations on auction day were high, the result Cameron 

achieved for us blew us away..... far beyond what we could have ever hoped. 

We unreservedly recommend using Cameron to sell your property.

Bid to ease concerns over cycleway 

CHANGES MAY be made to 

the Wheels to Wings cycleway 

design after concerns from the 

community. 

A hearings panel, chaired 

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel, has 

finished listening to public 

submissions on the plans for the 

cycleway, which will provide 

a route through Papanui, 

Bishopdale, Harewood, the 

airport area, the recreational 

cycling 

facilities at 

McLeans 

Island, and the 

destinations in 

between. 

“We have 

spent a 

number of 

Lianne 

Dalziel 

days over the 

past couple 

of months 

listening 

to people speak to their 

submissions and considering the 

written submissions we received 

and the revised design scheme,” 

said Dalziel. 

“There were some really well 

considered submissions and it 

is clear this is a very engaged 

community. 

“Some concerns were raised by 

submitters about the potential 

loss of parking around Nunweek 

Park. 

“To address this, we’re 

recommending that staff look 

at the viability of putting the 

MORE CHANGES: Safety improvements may be made to the Harewood Rd section of the 

Wheels to Wings cycleway near the entrance and exit to Mitre 10. IMAGE: NEWSLINE 

cycleway on the park side of the 

trees in Nunweek Park. 

“This option would actually 

allow us to increase the parking 

around Nunweek Park, as we 

could then put in angle parking 

along Harewood Rd.’’ 

The panel also recommended 

safety improvements are made 

to the Harewood Rd section of 

the cycleway by the entrance 

and exit to Mitre 10, city council 

staff investigate building a raised 

safety platform on Harewood 

Rd at the signalised pedestrian/ 

cycle crossing between Matsons 

Ave and Chapel St and the 

city council work to ensure 

the delivery of other transport 

projects in the area are aligned 

with the cycleway. 

Said Dalziel: “The hearings 

panel was particularly impressed 

by the time and effort that a 

group of submitters put into 

developing their own alternate 

design scheme. 

“We did seriously consider 

this alternate option but an 

independent review has raised 

significant safety concerns with 

it. 

“After considering all the 

submissions and seeking 

additional information from 

staff, the hearings panel is 

recommending the council 

approve the revised design 

scheme, with some changes. 

“The hearings panel’s full 

recommendations will be 

published online this week. They 

will be considered by the council 

in May. If the council approves 

the panel’s recommendations, 

the project will move to the 

detailed design phase,” Dalziel 

said. 

The city council has under 

taken two rounds of public 

consultation on the Wheels to 

Wings cycle route. During the 

first round in early 2021, the city 

council received more than 1300 

submissions. 

While some of the 1300 

submissions supported the plans 

for the cycleway, others raised 

concerns about aspects of the 

proposed route and the impact it 

would have on parking, property 

access and congestion. 

In response to that feedback 

and ongoing discussions with 

key stakeholders, directly 

affected businesses and residents, 

some initial changes were made 

to the plans for the cycle route. 

The revised plans were made 

public in late October 2021 and 

a second round of consultation 

initiated, which resulted in a 

further 86 submissions being 

received.

More housing choice 

is the way forward 

Population growth, housing issues – including affordability – and climate change 

are prompting a re-think of some of Ōtautahi-Christchurch’s planning rules. 

Our proposed plan change 

We need to build a wider variety of homes, and more of them, to suit 

our changing housing needs. 

For lower emissions – and future generations – we must build upwards, 

particularly in and around our commercial centres within easy reach of 

work, school and the shops. 

Where we’ll grow 

The proposed Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change 

creates a number of residential and commercial zones in the city 

and enables more and higher housing to be developed. Developments 

may still be subject to a resource consent. 

Check out our interactive maps* to find out what the proposed changes 

mean for you and your property. Visit ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay 

(Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change). 

Growing in the right places 

While we must follow the Government’s direction, we’re proposing that 

some areas have qualities, known as Qualifying Matters. This means the 

rules enabling increased development would not apply, or would be 

limited, and development remains subject to resource consent approval. 

This could be because of their significant heritage or character value, or 

because of specific hazards like rockfall, erosion, tsunami or flooding. 

Protecting our trees 

We’re proposing Financial Contributions from anyone wanting to 

develop land and who does not retain or plant 20 per cent tree canopy 

cover on a site. We’ll use these contributions to plant more trees on 

Council-owned land. 

The Government wants us to grow up! 

Belfast 

We’ve been given direction by the Government to enable more housing. 

This means in most urban residential zones of the city people will 

be allowed to build up to three houses per section, and up to 

12 metres high (three storeys, depending on building design) without 

a resource consent. 

Even greater building development – both residential and commercial 

– would be allowed within and around the central city and suburban 

commercial centres.

Buildings of different ages, 

styles and uses will be open for 

the public to experience for free, 

apart from a handful of private 

residences that require a booking 

fee. 

Other highlights will include 

culturally, historically and 

architecturally important 

buildings that are not usually 

open for free to the public. 

Buildings, such as the former 

Addington Gaol, the industrial 

treasure Wood’s Mill and 65 

Cambridge Tce, are among some 

of the architecture on display. 

The festival will be presented by 

Te Pūtahi Centre for Architecture 

and City Making. 

Members of the public 

are invited to the Harewood 

Crematorium on the evening of 

April 29 to light a candle and 

reflect on the year, before the full 

programme starts the following 

day. 

Four guided walks will explore 

Ngāi Tahu identity and its history 

in Christchurch and Lyttelton, 

and there will be more than 20 

activities, including talks, tours 

and workshops, to round out the 

programme. 

The buildings will be open 

at different times across the 

weekend, with a timetable of 

activities and some advance 

bookings required. 

Residents and visitors who want 

to participate are encouraged to

ONE MAN’S rubbish has 

turned out to be another man’s 

fortune. 

Twenty years of digging, hours 

of research and a keen eye for 

the uniqueness of an old glass 

bottle has ensured a comfortable 

retirement fund for Josh 

Svensson. 

What started as a competition 

among young brothers to find 

the best glass bottle turned into 

a collection of over a thousand 

glass bottles, a lot of which were 

found in Lyttelton. 

Svensson is an antique glass 

bottle collector who specialises 

in bottles from Lyttelton. 

“Some one called me a 

hoarder,” said Svensson. 

But with a collection worth 

more than $80,000, most would 

agree it’s a hobby worth having. 

“My brother-in-law used to 

collect them in the 80s. One day 

when I was 12 he took me and 

my brothers out fossicking. We 

crawled under an old house and 

found some old bottles,” Svensson 

SAID. 

From then, he was hooked. 

“It became a competition between 

my brothers and myself of 

who can find the coolest bottles,” 

he said. 

The competition went on for 

years. One of Svensson’s brothers 

COLLECTOR: Josh Svensson 

with a rare blue soda 

syphon and a Christmas 

tree oil bottle. 

decided to sell up a few years 

ago and used the money made 

from selling his collection to put 

towards a deposit on a house. 

Svensson is in the lower age 

demographic of bottle collectors 

in New Zealand, he said there is 

about 200-300 across the country, 

30 or so in Christchurch. 

Before recycling and bottle 

collection was a thing, people 

used to dig holes in their backyards 

to dispose of rubbish they 

could not burn, like glass bottles.

•From page 5 

“People used to just throw 

them away, out of sight out of 

mind if they were too lazy to 

dig a hole,” said Svensson. 

Lyttelton was once home to 

multiple different soft drink 

manufacturers, including 

brands such as JF Wyatt, NC 

Schumacher, and R Milsom. 

The glass bottles were made 

in England and filled in New 

Zealand. 

Svensson has spent hours 

online researching old newspapers 

and maps, and spent time 

at the museum. 

He previously lived in 

Charteris Bay where he would 

jump in the water at low tide in 

the mud flats and hunt for his 

treasure. 

“Often when the boats used 

to come in back in the day they 

would empty their bottles off 

the side into the water, some 

stuck around in the mud flats,” 

he said. 

Svensson has a metal probe 

that he uses to poke into the 

ground and determine if there 

is clay or dirt that’s never been 

touched, 

“If it goes down easy and 

hits a glass item you know 

someone has dug a hole there 

before,” he said. 

But it’s not just glass bottles 

Svensson has found while 

digging: He has come across 

bones, old false teeth and even 

a toilet seat. 

DISPLAY: Stoneware ginger beer bottles from 1890 to 1930. 

“Once we were digging a 

hole then eventually realised 

it might have been an old long 

drop, but thankfully after 

a hundred odd years there 

wasn’t a lot of crap left there,” 

said Svensson. 

Fossicking for glass bottles 

was a popular activity back 

in the 70s, Svensson said, but 

there is now strict rules around 

it. 

“Anything pre-1900s is 

no go, it’s an archaeologist’s 

domain. Often if there’s a new 

building site and when diggers 

are in they might come across 

a dumping site, then you’ve got 

a limited opportunity. They’ll 

give you a call and they’re often 

happy to get a box of beers 

in return for some empties,” 

said Svensson. 

There are Facebook groups 

where collectors share their 

prized collection. Kiwi Auction 

has auctions every year 

online and also at a national 

bottle show. It takes more than 

just a keen eye to figure out 

what bottles are of value. Some 

are worth $5, some $15,000. 

“You have to know about it 

so it takes years of experience 

to figure out what’s what,” 

Svensson said. 

He has about 1000 bottles in 

his collection now. 

He has found half of them 

and the other half he has 

bought. 

During the 20 years he has 

been collecting, Svensson 

added up he has spent about 

$40,000 on the collection, the 

most expensive being $1000 for 

a single bottle. 

“I see it as an investment. I 

enjoy collecting the bottles but 

just the history behind it as 

well. I’m just a fan of history in 

general.” 

Svensson worked out last 

year his collection is valued at 

more than $80,000. 

“Not bad for a bit of rubbish 

aye,” he said.

Kiwi burger 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

400g minced beef at room temperature 

4 Tbsp rapeseed (canola) or sunflower 

oil 

1 large red onion, finely sliced into discs 

or semi-circles 

4 thin slices of Emmental, Gouda 

or Jarlsberg cheese 

4 eggs 

4 burger buns 

4 Tbsp tomato sauce or tomato chutney 

4 Tbsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard 

12 large tomatoes, sliced 

8-12 slices of pickled beetroot (see below) 

4 large iceberg or round lettuce leaves 

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

EDWARDS/ODT 

then gently squash the patties down with 

a fish slice to the diameter of your burger 

buns and cook for a further 10 minutes. 

Flip the patties, season again, and place 

a slice of cheese on top of each patty so 

it gently hugs when melted. Cook for 1 

minute for medium rare, or 2 minutes for 

medium. Remove the patties and set aside 

to rest while you cook the next batch. 

For the fried eggs 

Heat the remaining oil or butter in a 

non-stick frying pan over a medium-high 

heat. Crack in the eggs and as soon as you 

hear them start to sizzle cover with a lid. 

Fry for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat 

and leave covered for a further 30 seconds. 

Depending on how runny you like your 

egg, you can cook them for longer. 

When the patties are cooked, gently toast 

the burger buns in the same pan, pressing 

the sliced sides into the pan for 20-30 

seconds. 

HOME & HEATING 

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at 

https://www.rdp.co.nz/home-heating or 

signup at apply.rdp.co.nz/home-heating 

Divide the meat into 4 equal amounts 

and roll each into a ball. Sandwich each 

ball between 2 pieces of baking paper, 

and using a rolling pin, roll them out into 

patties about 1cm smaller in diameter than 

your burger buns. Set aside. 

Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large 

frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add 

the onions and fry for 5-6 minutes, until 

soft and a little charred. Remove from the 

pan and set aside. 

Keeping a medium-high heat, add the 

patties, two at a time. Generously season 

with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, 

To stack your burgers 

Spread tomato sauce on the bottom 

buns and mustard on the tops. Place each 

cheese-coated patty on a bottom bun, then 

top with the fried egg, 1-3 slices of tomato, 

2-3 slices of pickled beetroot, lettuce and 

lastly some of the fried onions, before 

finishing with the bun tops. 

Note: Some of us say it’s not a Kiwi 

burger without a pineapple ring. For this 

sweeter version, char some pineapple slices 

in a griddle pan or under the grill and add 

to the stack in place of the tomato. 

Pickled beetroot 

Makes a 750ml jar 

Ingredients 

450g-500g beetroot, peeled, thinly 

sliced/diced (blanched in boiling water) 

or grated 

450ml (scant 2 cups) white wine vinegar 

100ml (1/3 cup) filtered water 

50g (1/5 cup) white sugar 

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp black peppercorns 

2 bay leaves 

8 cloves, gently toasted 

3 green cardamom pods, gently smashed 

2-3 pared strips of lemon zest 

Directions 

Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt and 

spices in a large, non-reactive pan, keeping 

any fresh herbs or lemon zest to one side 

until the jarring stage. Place over a medium 

heat, stirring until the sugar and salt 

dissolve and the spices infuse. Bring to the 

boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then allow 

the brine to cool slightly. 

Pack your prepped beetroots into 

appropriately sized, clean, cool jars. Try 

to fit in as much as possible without 

squashing or forcing too tightly, leaving a 

gap of about 1cm from the top rim. 

Pour the brine over the beetroot. 

Gently tap out any trapped bubbles, or 

use a chopstick to manoeuvre the bubbles 

out, making sure you get out as many as 

you can (this trapped air can encourage 

fermentation). Top up with brine again 

so the produce is entirely covered, up to 

23mm from the very top, and seal with a 

sterilised dry lid. 

The preserved beetroot will need to 

be stored unopened in a cool, dark place 

for about 34 weeks before opening. Once 

opened, store in the fridge for greater 

longevity.


HOME & HEATING 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when it 

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or 

air conditioning system for their home or 

office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home 

both in Winter and Summer. This can be 

achieved by using ducted systems or multi 

systems and Enviro Master are experts in 

designing, installing and commissioning 

these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community 

Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or 

who live in a low-income area as determined 

by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand 

Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can 

lead to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. This 

consultation is at no cost to the customer 

and is always provided before a heat pump is 

installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit 

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz 

Reduce condensation and 

dampness in your home 

Damp air in houses condensates on cold 

surfaces, such as single glazed windows 

or wall linings. With double glazing and 

insulation, this moisture will remain 

suspended in the air or condensate on 

the coolest surfaces available, such as in 

cupboards. Window condensation results 

in a “ponding” on windowsills, which 

discolours paintwork, rots sills and creates 

mould on curtains, walls and clothing. 

Damp air and other contaminants can also 

aggravate respiratory conditions including 

asthma. 

According to BRANZ (Building Research 

Association of New Zealand) one in seven 

New Zealand homes have damp wall linings 

caused by surface condensation, and in 46% 

of homes mildew occurs. 

In a typical four-person household, 

each family member will contribute 

approximately 2.25 litres of moisture in the 

air each day through showers, baths, boiling 

kettles and cooking – adding up to well 

over 60 litres per week. 

The Dry-Matic from Smooth-Air, is a 

cost effective, proven positive pressure 

ventilation system for controlling 

condensation and humid air. The Dry- 

Matic works by drawing fresh air from 

the attic space, diluting, displacing and 

replacing humid and contaminated air with 

drier, filtered air to reduce or eliminate 

surface condensation and dampness. 

Dry-Matic units are attic mounted and 

can be fitted in both existing houses and 

new buildings, operating effectively with 

just one vent installed (for houses up to 

275 sqm). Reasonably simple to install, 

the units can provide relatively inexpensive 

relief to thousands of homeowners who face 

the depressing sight of windows streaming 

with condensation on a daily basis. 

In an age dominated by the importance 

of minimising the carbon footprint of 

buildings and their impact on the wider 

environment, it is easy to forget that the 

indoor environment is just as important to 

occupants. The Dry-Matic both improves 

the indoor environment, as well as saving 

energy. By using filtered attic air, the 

Dry-Matic uses solar heated air during the 

day, and reduces the amount introduced at 

night. The incoming drier air is easier to 

heat, as it is not laden with moisture. 

Whilst there are a number of competitors 

that offer various solutions, Dry-Matic 

systems offer all the benefits at very 

competitive pricing. 

Smooth-Air provide a wide range of 

ventilation products to equip the building 

industry with solutions to tackle the 

debilitating problem of moist air that 

should not persist in the 21st century. 

Call Smooth-Air Products: 0800 

SMOOTH (0800 766 684), they will put 

you in touch with one of their certified 

installers who will come out to check what 

you need and give you a no obligation, 

relaxed, no heavy sales pitch, free quote. 

Or alternately visit their showroom at 264 

Annex Road (off Blenheim Road). There 

is also a detailed description of the Dry- 

Matic on www.smooth-air.co.nz, look for

ANZAC DAY 

MONDAY APRIL 25, 2022 

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of 

the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces 

of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post 

sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep 

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes 

to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its 

popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service 

continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of 

remembrance.”

Friday 24th of April 

Saturday 25th of April 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities 

throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have 

served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the 

acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first 

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known 

as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies – 

one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli 

by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later 

in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally 

begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel 

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans, 

proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local 

cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service 

with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post 

played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share 

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the 

anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the 

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New 

Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and 

women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became 

an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday 

where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope 

all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice 

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn 

on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, 

where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped 

relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version 

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned 

Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac 

Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local 

communities. 

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.’ 

Proud to support 2022 ANZAC remembrance

Rise up with Risingholme 

Term 2 Courses 

The events of COVID-19 have shone 

a light on protecting and maintaining 

our well-being and made us aware of the 

importance of social connectedness, family, 

lifestyle, and community. With all of this 

in mind, Risingholme has coordinated a 

Wellbeing Series of courses to support the 

community in their next steps out of the 

covid cloud. 

Your brain is like your body – it gets 

stronger when you exercise it. There is a 

lot of research that suggests learning new 

skills keeps your brain young and fit. In one 

study, 256 people with mild to moderate 

anxiety took part in community education, 

the courses covered a wide variety of topics, 

from yoga to creative writing. The study 

found that after completing the courses, 

most participants reported feeling less 

isolated during their courses. They also 

experienced better wellbeing and less severe 

symptoms, and this improvement lasted for 

12 months. 

By doing a Risingholme course, you can 

find a new hobby, make new friends, and 

upskill your life by taking on an enjoyable 

challenge. At Risingholme we offer fun 

short courses in so many areas that can not 

only fit around your life, but better it! 

Whether you are looking to improve your 

mindset, fitness, creativity, find a new job or

of new and established Wellbeing courses 

that you will enjoy: 

• Reiki Mindfulness 

• Wellbeing through Creativity 

• Fitness and Wellbeing 

• Pursuit of Happiness - Goal Creation for 

Women
