Hohepa Canterbury

Hohepa is a well-established provider of services to people with an intellectual disability, with over fifty years of experience in Christchurch. Founded on a community model, we know that the safe and supportive environment we offer gives the people we support a foundation for reaching their potential.

We offer a rich cultural experience based on the principles of the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Steiner’s approach gives people with a disability the opportunity to explore their creative talents, be nurtured through our therapies, and establish a rhythm to their life.

Hohepa Canterbury is moving into a phase of creativity and innovation in how we partner with people with an intellectual disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Support and services will be co-created with each person we support, culminating with a bespoke plan for each individual.

We invite you to become involved in supporting people with intellectual disabilities and autism. Gifts of all kinds and sizes are integral in providing the special character and programmes that Hohepa is renowned for. Whilst Government funding provides for the basics, we rely on your generosity to enhance the lives of people with an intellectual disability. These donations allow us to maintain our special character and therapeutic programmes, and be innovative in our service offerings. Your donation will help us achieve our long-term goals of creating opportunities for every person we support with an intellectual disability or autism.

Hohepa Homes is a registered charitable trust under the Charities Act (Registration No. CC48109) and donations are therefore deductible for tax purposes. We value support from our wider community; please come and have a chat with us – we would love to show you our campuses and introduce you to some of the wonderful people we support.
