Case Study_Monte Cecilia_FINAL

The YWCA in Christchurch was founded by Kate Shepherd and her cohort over 125 years ago. Since then it has morphed many times with the needs in society and is now an organisation that meets the needs for those needing Transitional Housing. We have a women and children only site at Hereford Street and two other sites that are for any whānau that MSD refer to our services. We are a small team that focus on behavioural change and having plans for the future.
The CHA Constitution sets out two categories of members – Full and Partner – these are defined below:
