The Hereford St hotel is owned and operated by the YMCA Christchurch. It boasts a large range of accommodation options, including self-contained apartments, deluxe ensuite rooms, classic single or double rooms, and dorm rooms. As a social enterprise, all profits are re-invested back into vulnerable members of the community. In Christchurch, the YMCA helps to run youth programmes and services, a weekly activity programme for adults with special needs and disabilities, and rehabilitation programmes for older adults.
