Abbeyfield Waimakariri – planned development

Elsewhere on this website you will read about the Abbeyfield mission to help seniors who, for whatever reason, have limited resources, are often socially isolated, and just need somewhere to live independently and safely.

Life is too short for a senior person to live with loneliness and financial pressures.

Abbeyfield Waimakariri Inc now has the perfect site in Kingsbury Ave, Rangiora, to build a house where 14 independent seniors can rent one of the purpose-built ensuite studio apartments in a supported family-life setting.

Now our focus is on fundraising to develop that Abbeyfield house.

That’s where you come in. There are several ways you can help:

• Donate on this website’s donation page, ensuring you mention Waimakariri in your comment.
• Donate directly into our bank account: Abbeyfield Waimakariri Inc 03-0674-0279642-000, ensuring you put your name in the reference field. Abbeyfield Waimakariri is a registered charity (CC59911). Donations over $5 are tax deductible and we issue receipts for tax rebates. Please email [email protected] to give us contact details for receipting purposes.
• Join us as a member for just $10 annually to show your support, receive newsletters and vote at our AGM.
• Volunteer to help us at events or fundraise for us.
• Buy preserves from our regular Church Street market in Rangiora held on the first Saturday of each month (except January) and at other community markets around the district.
• Encourage your own groups/organisations to share our vision and support our initiatives.

If you would like to pursue any of the options above, or receive our quarterly newsletter, contact [email protected]

While our development is not yet under way, we invite expressions of interest from prospective residents to go on our waiting list. Please register your interest by clicking on the button below.
