๐ Since we opened the Mayoral Relief Fund, only a handful of applications have come through, and weโd love to see more Southlanders applying to get the support they need!
๐ค If you or someone you know is facing serious financial hardship after last weekโs weather event and run out of other funding or insurance options, this fund is for you.
๐ฐ Itโs a one-off assistance fund โ whether it's for covering the cost of essential household items, or costs related to clean-up and recovery. If it can make things a little easier for you, your whฤnau, or your business, we strongly encourage you to apply.
Applying is simple:
๐ Visit www.cdsouthland.nz to apply online or download a form.
๐ง You can email your completed form to recovery@cdsouthland.nz, post it to us, or drop it off at Environment Southland, 220 North Road, Invercargill.
๐ฅฐ Please help us spread the word โ if you know someone whoโs doing it tough, let them know about the fund. Every bit of support makes a difference.
๐ซถ And if youโre in a position to donate, weโd be incredibly grateful. Every dollar goes directly to Southlanders who urgently need help.
