Message from the chair
Welcome to our Healing Hands newsletter.
As ever, we as a Trust are working hard to ensure we continue to deliver free medical services to some people in the Canterbury community. This means ongoing fundraising and exploring new ways to meet the costs associated with running our premises and offering a growing range of services.

You may already have seen in the media a new way of donating to charities through “Payroll Giving”. Our newsletter has information on this method of making donations as you earn, and we encourage you to consider the Charity Hospital as your recipient. If you are an employee, we believe this is an opportunity many employees will take up if offered.
As some of you will be aware, I had a period of ill-health last year. I am now back on my feet again and resuming my former roles. I look forward to re-commencing my operating lists at the Charity Hospital, as we near the start of our third year of operation.
When my wife Sue and I moved to New Zealand some 30 or so years ago, we were drawn to Christchurch in part because of its real sense of community. It is this same community spirit embraced by Cantabrians that has enabled the Charity Hospital to be founded – by the community, for the community. We are under no illusion as to the tough economic times that many are facing at present, but as you consider your charitable donations over the next year, we encourage you to continue your support for what has become a truly team-Canterbury effort at 349 Harewood Road.
Best wishes and thank you for your supportPhilip Bagshaw,
Chair
Canterbury Charity Hospital Trust
