Who are we? |

Pay it Forward is a cooperative design store set up by the Neighbourhood Trust and a group of local designers as a creative enterprise. We stock a curated collection of beautiful gifts and homewares locally handcrafted by Canterbury craftspeople.
The idea for the name came from the sense of a place where people would share what they had to offer with others, a place of warmth and welcome. A place where artisans, crafters and designers learn from each other, with knowledge and expertise shared. A place where others can learn new skills and pass them on.
As well as the retail side of things, there was a need to rebuild the sense of community in this suburb, which had been torn apart by the earthquakes and school closures. We wish Pay It Forward to become a meeting place for people, where they could browse at leisure, use the shop as a base for walking groups, learn new crafts, have discussion groups on special interest areas and be a place to swap resources and skills.
If you are an artisan living in the Christchurch or Canterbury area and would like to become a part of Pay it Forward, please fill out our application form.
The shop is situated at 49 Nancy Ave, near the corner of Weston Road and Nancy Ave, in the suburb of Mairehau, Christchurch, New Zealand. See Map below.
