Welcome to Healthy Christchurch
Healthy Christchurch is an intersectoral initiative aimed at fostering collaboration between organisations who have signed The Healthy Christchurch Charter.
There are currently over 200 Charter Signatories, ranging from government agencies, businesses, voluntary sector groups and networks. The specialist focus of the signatories ranges from children’s welfare to sport, from the arts to literacy.
Healthy Christchurch signatories are working on a number of projects. We have a number of project reports, resources and other documents on this website.
