The Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre is run by volunteer staff Monday to Friday.

Our aim is to encourage local people from around our harbour to become involved. Some people operate tourism initiatives in the area and that gives them a chance to have good input into visitor outcomes, others are people who are very proud of where they live and just want visitors and locals to experience the area to its fullest.

We all meet really interesting people from all around the world plus get to know each other really well. During the year we have monthly tourism visitation days where we visit activity and accommodation providers from around the harbour. Several social events are also held each year and volunteer effort is celebrated.

All volunteers are part of the local Timebank and this entitles them to receive free services for the volunteer hours they donate at the centre.  If you would like to be involved in our volunteer programme please contact Wendy Everingham 328 9093.
