The Youth Hub Trust Te Hurihanga o Rangatahi

Help us build Youth Hub Christchurch!

Canterbury

Youth Hub Christchurch aims to be a turning point in the lives of young people aged 10-25. The Hub is the first of its kind in New Zealand and is based in the heart of central Christchurch.

The Hub aims to deliver everything Christchurch's young people need to improve and maintain their mental health, from supported housing and health and support services to spaces for recreation and creativity.

Stage One of the Hub, which includes a supported housing wing with 22 bedrooms for youth at risk of homelessness, a wraparound services block where a dozen youth providers can work and an outdoor activities courtyard opened in October 2024.

An Events and Activities Centre will open in 2026.

We continue to fundraise to build another wing of supported housing and creative arts and garden spaces. These will open when funding is secured.

May Newsletter - Come join our exciting events! 20 May 2026

Our new Events Centre is officially open, and we’re so excited to see it already coming to life with performances, workshops, rehearsals, and events for young people across Waitaha.

Our goal is to make the space as accessible as possible by offering free venue hire for young people and youth-led groups by creating opportunities to connect, create, and share their talents without financial barriers.

Every donation through our Givealittle page helps us move closer to that goal. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far - your generosity is helping build a space where young people can truly belong and thrive.

Want to come check it out for yourself? We are excited to be hosting our Open Fun Day featuring open mic singers, roaming performers and a free sausage sizzle. Youth Hub Live, our first Youth Showcase as part of Youth Week 2026, will be held that evening featuring a night of live performance from Ōtautahi’s epic young talent (like Isabella Jane - fresh from The Voice Belgium!) 🎤

We'd love you to join us!

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.

Dame Bagshaw and I have worked together for 24 years. First I was a librarian, then as a committee member-advising on ensuring that children, youth and young adults with lived experience of impairment get medical and counselling support fast. I am a SURVIVOR of sexual, emotional, physical, financial and spiritual abuse. I have experienced panic attacks, anxiety, and failed many suicide attempts. I will be volunteering at the Youth Hub Trust Te Hurihanga o Rangatahi in the hope that children and young adults in Christchurch don’t endure over 40 years of suffering as I did. May God bless Sue and everyone who sets foot on the ground of Youth Hub Trust Te Hurihanga o Rangatahi.
