About CRS

At CRS, we value our relationship with Ngāi Tahu through Sally Pitama, who consistently supports not only the work of CRS but also the refugee and migrant sector on behalf of the iwi.

MISSION STATEMENT

“CRS exists to support people from refugee and migrant backgrounds living in  Ōtautahi/Christchurch to settle successfully in Aotearoa/New Zealand by providing a range of professional services that build on strengths to promote wellbeing and resilience”.

VALUES STATEMENT

“We recognize the settlement journey in Aotearoa/New Zealand context, committed to the Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We value the provision of a professional service delivered in a holistic, culturally responsive and collaborative way, with an emphasis on social justice which respects individual and community identity.”
