Our contact details are ph. (09) 448 5118 or email auckland@nzpfu.org.nz.

To enable us to collate your offers of assistance, please provide the following:

  1. Your contact details.
  2. How many people you can accommodate.
  3. Location (including address) and type of accommodation, eg. holiday home.
  4. Dates available.

Your kind assistance is greatly appreciated and, hopefully, will give some of our Christchurch members and their families a small respite from the very difficult and stressful situation they find themselves in.
