This Christchurch grassroots organisation empowers people to participate fully in community life through social services, community cafes, wellness and educational programmes. Delta is about Community where people experience positive relationships and personal growth, and journey and grow together in all social, mental, physical and spiritual aspects of life. Community where people are empowered t

o fully participate in and contribute to community life. Community that uplifts people who face personal hardship, experiencing disability, isolation or other disadvantage. Our motivation comes from, and is in response to, the love of Jesus Christ, his message of hope and invitation to a new and renewed life, as depicted by the cross,. We seek to express what this means through who we are as an organisation. Who we are and what we Value. We are a motley bunch of people, volunteers, staff, board members, church and non-church goers and hangers-on committed to expressing and living out the values of Empowerment, Relationship, People, Community, Creativity, Inclusiveness, Faith and Holism. This body of people includes those involved with North Avon Baptist Church and Delta Community Church. What we do
We engage in community development through a varied range of services, initiatives and activities carried out through three Service Departments

1. Community Development Services: Personal Advocacy, Counselling & Budget Advice, Food Store (food bank with a difference), Empowerment (personal development and foundational skills) Courses, Community Café (Footprints Café) and Delta Inn community meal, Migrant & Refugee support (including Play Group and Social English Language Classes), Volunteer opportunities/support, Richmond Community Action Network & related initiatives, Delta Community Garden and Craft/support Group.
2. Delta Friendship Link: Friendship linking social & skills groups and one-to-one friendship for people with intellectual and psychiatric disability.
3. The Evergreen Club: Weekday activity programme for vulnerable and isolated elderly, most of whom are living in their own homes, some supported by partners or other family and some living on their own.

'Blokes in the Kitchen' was great fun today. We had 5 men join one of our Cooking on a Budget classes and together we cooked three dishes. The team learnt how to make a chicken stock that we turned into a hearty soup, two variations of banana bread and potato fritters. Watch this space as we look to roll more cooking classes out from July onwards
