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.

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.
