Piece by piece, bucket by bucket, these dedicated individuals worked long hours to retrieve bits of glass on hands and knees from among burnt blackberry, gorse and broom bushes.

Thanks – to all our dedicated volunteers (you know who you are). A special shout out to Riccarton High School Eco-Group, the Air New Zealand Green Team, Summit Road Society members, Kathmandu, and the Student Volunteer Army.

Last week we published an article about a proposal for a mens homeless shelter that is seeking funding from the Christchurch City Council through the Linwood-Central-Heathcote community board.

In that article, reference was made to Street 10. There were some inaccuracies in that article about Street 10 which we regret.

Street 10 was not merely an "inner city day pad ... [for] the men to clean up and relax over coffee," and we apologise for any inference that it was.

Street 10 was based in Liverpool Street, not Manchester St as stated. It did not close because of the 2011 earthquake, although the building was destroyed.

Street 10 closed because, despite running a mobile support service for a year following the February 2011 earthquake where the team went around public parks giving out drinks, food, blankets, reassurance and information about what services were still operating, the trust couldn't compete with all the businesses previously in the CBD for a new building and could not get the funding needed to pay a higher rent.

The day centre proposed by the Collective for the Homeless does not replicate what was provided by Street 10, which was overseen by the Inner City Interagency Trust. While that comparison was drawn by key backer, Brenda Lowe-Johnson, there are key differences, including the inclusion of women, the community development model of practice in which Street 10 was based, the representation of people at every level of the organisation including the Trust Board and the multiple services Street 10 provided based on the self identified needs of people without safe and secure accommodation.

The article in question also quoted Ms Mora, despite the fact that the reporter had not recently spoken to her. The comments were misquoted from a story written some years ago and for this we unreservedly apologise.
