Welcome to The Bridge News, your source for all the latest articles, updates, and insights related to our services. As an integral part of The Salvation Army’s services in New Zealand, we are dedicated to keeping you informed about the mahi we do and the impact we have on our communities.
We know recovery isn’t one size fits all. That’s why we welcome programmes like Speed Freaks. The Speed Freaks programme brings structure, connection and motivation to some of our Christchurch Bridge tangata through running and walking.
With the support of volunteer coaches, our tangata build confidence, have a routine and a sense of belonging. These are all important parts of the recovery journey.
