Akaroa Resource Collective Trust (ARCT) provides, promotes and supports charitable services that benefit the Akaroa community and surrounding areas. ARCT provides a safe, confidential central drop in space, and facilitates social related services in a holistic way across the community. Due to its small size and unique community contacts ARCT has the capacity to organically adapt and change to meet the evolving needs of the community. ARCT is spiritually symbolised by an ARK or waka. A supportive structure sailing safely over the currents of life. A place of protection, but also a place to connect with others, learn effective team work and new life skills to increase quality of life. Heartland Services
