This is the official Victim Support donation page for victims of the Canterbury shootings.

Donate to support victims of the horrific Canterbury shootings.

Dozens of families have been bereaved and many more injured by today's horrific shootings. They deserve our help and support! All donations received to this page will be used to provide support and resources for people affected by the Christchurch shootings and their family members.

Thanks to those who have asked for more detail around how these funds will be used to support victims and their families.

We want to be really clear about this, this money is being ring-fenced and is NOT for Victim Support's regular operating costs.

There will be many needs that victims have - some financial, some for support, and many other needs too. It is important that there is enough flexibility in the fund criteria that we can respond to those needs at they continue to emerge, whatever they may be. We are still in the immediate aftermath of the event and distribution criteria are currently being developed as quickly as possible.

Use of Funds:

Victim Support will use all donations received to this page to provide support and resources for people affected by the Christchurch shootings and their family members.

(Please Note: All funds will be invoiced to Victim Support Manager - Jess Oliver)
