Who are Cholmondeley Childrens Centre?
Cholmondeley Memorial Children’s Home was opened on 7th March 1925, as a generous result of Hugh Heber Cholmondeley, bequeathing both the land and the house to the tamariki of the area in memory of his late wife. Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has developed and adapted to the evolving needs of the community, since 1925 over 30,000 tamariki have stayed at Cholmondeley.
Today Cholmondeley provides short-term, plannedand emergency respite care for tamariki aged 3-12 whose families are experiencing genuine stress or crisis, as well as support to whānau in the community. The programme is offered in a centre-based model of service, in partnership with parents, and in accordance with international best practice.
Cholmondeley operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and each year needs to fundraise approximately $2.5 million to meet the annual operating costs. June 2021 to June 2022 Cholmondeley Children’s Centre worked with 331 tamariki from 267 whānau around the Canterbury region, providing 2,809 nights of care to these tamariki.

The Awhi Service supports the community through its outreach programme delivered by The Refocus team to strengthen resilience in an ever-changing environment.
