They did not have to go far – their new base is a purple building on Moore St right next door.
General manager Kevin Clifford said it had got so overcrowded, the Safer Mid Canterbury staff had taken over the Community House staff lunch room and turned that into an office.
‘‘I think to a lot of people’s annoyance,’’ Clifford said.
‘‘We’ve been very cramped for a couple of years, it’s been a longtime coming!’’
The charitable trust had about 35 staff, more than twice the number it had when it first moved into Community House about six years ago.
