Resident Organisations
The Canterbury Refugee Resettlement and Resources Centre (CRRRC) was founded in Christchurch as an incorporated society under the New Zealand law in 2008. The CRRRC was established to provide a forum for former refugee groups, with a remit to advance a development agenda that was consistent with refugee priorities and the objectives of the resettlement agenda outlined by Immigration New Zealand. We are accredited Level 3 Social Sector Accreditation Standard.
The Green Lab creates urban green spaces that support strong social connections and promote wellbeing in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Our green spaces enable community building and connect people with nature in the urban environment.
We put community, wellbeing and environmental sustainability before profit. We see our focus and impact in the context of the Living Standards Framework.
For us, design is a social process of co-creation and capacity building. Where possible we take a participatory approach that involves end-users in the design and construction of the space.
