Radio NZ’s Phil Pennington was on the job minutes after the earthquake, capturing the drama as it unfolded. His book, Surviving 7.8, is a tough but fascinating study of resilience. It includes stories from the people affected – locals and tourists alike – covering the immediate reaction, the uncertainty and the turmoil, as well as the do-it-yourself attitude and steely resolve that defines who we are as Kiwis.
Sales of Surviving 7.8 support the New Zealand Red Cross November 2016 Earthquake Appeal.

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!
Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!
Vote now for your most deserving local community group or charity so they can be in to win 1 of 3 “Freezell” fridges, designed and personalised by Dick Frizzell.
