Located in the heart of Ashburton, Community House is a hub for social services in the Mid Canterbury community offering a range of spaces for a variety of uses. There are ongoing tenancies, one off affordable hire solutions and other daily services that can be utilised by anyone in the community. We offer full time reception cover for all our facilities. Our receptionists are warm, welcoming and friendly, and may even offer you a smile or a cup of tea while you wait in the shared waiting areas.
With over 40 different social services operating out of our two facilities, Community House welcomed more than 30,000 people last year from the very young arriving for their first Plunket visit, to those seeking advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau.
