WHAT WE NEED
We are asking all RNZFB members who have relocated as a result of the Christchurch earthquake, to please contact us immediately on 0800 24 33 33 if they have not done so already
GENERAL COMMENTS
Our resources in Christchurch are, and will continue to be very limited, so we are encouraging communities to be aware of their blind and partially sighted residents and to offer ongoing assistance wherever possible.
