Lyttelton Community House Services
We offer services that are designed to support all community members, with a particular focus on our older and vulnerable residents of Ōhinehou / Lyttelton and surrounding bays.
We understand that coming along to a new place can be overwhelming and frightening. Please phone us if we can support you to walk through our door with ease. We are a friendly, welcoming community group.
