About Us

Project Lyttelton began in 1994 and has been part of an extraordinary number of projects since then, some taking on their own entity, and others morphing into today's requirements. You can read up on a number of them via our History. We have to adapt to the needs of the present day community. Today, PL is still a passionate group dedicated to empowering Lyttelton's people. We have maintained a focus on our local environment, utilising the resources at hand.

​

The current projects feed into, and support each other, connecting, linking and reinforcing the work we do within and for the community.

 

We categorise the projects under the banners of Food, Waste and People.

​

Those under the Waste category deal with the collection of litter, composting, waste reduction via recycling, repurposing and reuse of items, and sharing of items.

​

Food deals with the production and access to fresh local food via gardens, market stalls, shared meals, a share table, and education around cooking and food production.

​

People comprises all groups, but primarily those that bring people together, and/or educate such as the Community Gardens, Get Crafty sessions, 40 Winchester St, and the Lyttelton Emergency Hub (The LEH).
