Ways you can help out after the November earthquakes

18 Nov 2016, 8:44 AM

Red Cross have just launched an appeal, allowing you to donate as much or as little as you want. It will go towards things like clean up kits for affected communities and psychological support for families. A link to the November 2016 Earthquake Appeal can be found here.

Kaikoura District Council Relief Fund

If you wish to make a donation to the EQ Relief Fund please use the Bank Account provided below

BNZ 02 0865 0011698 083

It is requested that people wishing to help should donate money - household goods cannot yet be accepted as there is no place to store them and more importantly the actual needs are still being assessed at this point.

Thank you for your support.
